working everyday, i'm afraid i forgot to show what's most important, love

i've been here for a month! and i only realized today when i had to go and get my visa extended, it feels like so much longer.

i've had a really good time over the past few days, a lot of which was taken up by 'planning' my sunday school lesson with kaitlyn.  we had all intentions to actually plan but it turns out that ingrid michaelson and brownies are too much of a distraction, but we got there eventually and it turned out to be an amazing sunday school.

it was suppose to be a special sunday school with the english class and chichewa class mixed but none of the english kids turned up so it was just 50 chichewa kids which made it slightly harder because we used sam and whoopi (my puppets) to tell the story so our dialogue between the puppets needed to be translated but the kids seemed to love it.

apart from sunday school the weekend was filled with games night, an exploration of the markets, skyping rachel and mum and dad and a chinese restaurant for dinner - all in all a great weekend.

this morning i was back in CURE hospital but this time on my own - there were about 34 people all together (including the children's guardians) and we sang songs and told the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water and having faith after which an impromptu worship session started and 24 people responded to the gospel message! how amazing is that!!!!

then i went to the immigration office to extend my visa and it took forever, it's good to know that immigration offices in malawi are just as long and boring as the ones back home.

now im sipping on some mountain dew and writing a blog and just found out that i'm in junior academy for 2 days this week and we're making a dvd so we better make sure the lessons are good!! and then going into a village on friday to do some bible clubs - i'm excited!
