Visitors

This week has been quite a busy week for us here in Mzuzu.  Besides the usual day to day caring for our own family and the babies, home schooling, training nannies and fixing all the things that don’t work we have had visitors from the United States.  On Friday we had a van with 8 people that are here doing short term medical work stop by to see us.  The nursery was jam packed with people as they came right at shift change and my day nannies were not about to leave and miss all the action.  So our 2 bedrooms and hallway were full of 4 nannies, 7 babies, 8 visitors and my family.  In spite of the crowd it was wonderful to share our ministry with them.  They ladies in the group fell in love with the babies and my nannies weren’t quite sure about sharing them.  They brought a trunk from my dear sister and brother in law (thanks Debby and Jay) and they also brought a trunk full of baby things—diapers, clothes, baby oil, powder and a money contribution from their church.  It was quite a blessing to say the least.  Most of the group are from Atlanta which is where the Dimmock’s are on furlough (Nancy Dimmock started the first crisis nursery in her home in Lilongwe in 2002) and Nancy told them what to bring us. 

Tonight (Sunday) we had a group of 4 stop by—a couple that were missionaries here in Malawi many years ago and left in 1988 and their son and daughter in law.  They brought their son and his wife as they had never been to Malawi and the older couple wanted to see how Malawi had changed in 25 years.  They also knew Nancy so they too brought baby things based on her recommendation.  Our cup truly runneth over!

If anyone else wants to know more about our ministry first hand we would love to welcome you to Malawi—we truly enjoy having visitors.  We even have a guest house if you need a place to stay!
