Gifts Galore

This weekend we were blessed by the generosity of our Malawian friends.  After preaching the Matumbi crusade, the ladies group presented us with pieces of fabric.  Gaylord draped his over his shoulder, and I tied mine around my waist as a chatinji (tied skirt). 

Already Gaylord is envisioning his as a nice shirt once it makes a trip to the tailor's shop. 

I may have mine made into a top or keep as a wrap.

When we stopped at another of our churches on the way home, a gentleman with whom we had become acquainted previously, told me that his family had a gift for us.  You can imagine my surprise when he brought me a wrapped box with triangular holes cut out of the sides.  It seems that they were blessing us with a pair of hares (rabbits) - one male, one female.  We graciously accepted and were grateful to have a dog crate to put them in upon our arrival home.

          

           

       Bosco, Catherine and children -aren't they precious?

Check back in a month or so - we may be having rabbit stew with rabbits to spare!  God is blessing us through his family in Africa, and we are very humbled and grateful.
