Christmas Party in Malawi

This is little Marion and her older sister Francesca. I looked after Marion when she was three months old for two weeks. She crept into my heart:)

The party was at the US Ambassador's house in Lilongwe.

Senior Men

Brian loves teaching these men.  He really enjoys interacting with them. We won't see these men graduate since we'll be in the USA on furlough. We are trusting though that they will take what they have learned in their praeching class this past semester and continue to unleash the truth of God's Word. What a privilege it is to be able to help these men and to serve God in this way. We are so thankful for the opportunity.

TMS

Brian really likes this spare tyre cover. It belongs to a friend of ours. Nick, pictured above, is planning on attending The Master's Seminary next year.

Brian asked his friend if they could switch spare tyre covers, so now TMS is on our car.  Brian's longtime friend, Kwacha Simwaka and his lovely girlfriend, Amanda, plus her sister came to visit Malawi from CA.  Since Kwacha is already graduated from TMS, they took a picture too.

Expiring License

Alli made good friends with this lady while we waited patiently to renew my Malawian driver's license. It expires in Jan 2013 and we'll be in CA then.

This enlarged picture to show you the rubber band keeping the camera in place. Gotta love AFRICA!

Bied's birthday

We were able to go out and celebrate Brian's birthday tonight. So thankful for my husband and best friend.

Opa's go kart is still going strong, as long as there is a willing pusher:)
