New Directors Have Arrived
It has been a long time since I posted an update but we finally have some news from the nursery in Mzuzu. Paul & Darlene Heller have arrived in Mzuzu to begin their 3 year commitment as directors of the nursery. We received an email from them shortly after they arrived with this message, “We arrived in Mzuzu yesterday. We were introduced at the nursery this morning and were very impressed. There are 18 babies and things are running quite well. What an amazing gift you and Lisa have given to these little ones.”
We were thrilled to hear that the nursery is doing well and also that the nursery will have committed directors to oversee the current operation and the building of a new nursery. Andy has said that the fact that the nursery continued to flourish despite our leaving just reinforces that this was God’s ministry and not ours. We were His tools used for His purposes. No one believed that our staff could run the nursery (not even our staff) without us but we knew that HE had chosen the people we hired and HE would see it through. “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27.
We will post updates from the Hellers about the nursery or if possible they will be posting updates from Malawi. We had no success in posting updates so had to have friends in the states post our updates but we will talk to them about how they want us to proceed. We will no longer use this blog as a vehicle for the Langdon family as its purpose is to communicate the status and needs of the Mzuzu nursery. I hope that you will continue to pray for the Hellers and the babies as they still desperately need to be covered by the prayers of the saints.
As a sidenote—we don’t know when or if we will be returning to Malawi. We are still on hold for Bridget’s I-600 and have received no feedback on the status even when we’ve asked except that it is still being worked on. We will not return unless the paperwork is completed. God worked miraculously when we were in Malawi in getting all her adoption and necessary paperwork in order to come to the states but has allowed this paperwork to be at a standstill. We believe that God is sovereign and do not want to push this through until HE allows it. We will return when the way is clear to do so OR we will wait out the 2 years from Bridget’s adoption date and submit different paperwork for her citizenship from the states. We have many things to keep us busy here with our own family—God has shown us that raising your family for God’s glory is a ministry too.
