Moni anzathu!! (Greetings friends of ours) We've had a pretty busy yet restful February! There have been a few moments of stress and anxiety, but many more times of fun, rest and joy. We've really had fun with church this month! There have been quite a few events which have brought us lots of joy. For example, there was the first CCC sports social!

We went to a nearby pitch after church and had a game of football, the frisbee being thrown around, and a smaller ball also being kicked about.  It started off with quite low numbers, but before we knew it loads of local kids had joined in and it was pretty packed! The community spirit was great and I really enjoyed that it was so chilled, without strenuous planning or rigid programming but happened naturally. However, I do have to apologise to Dumi who put about 10 chances on a plate for me and I wasted nearly every one of them…so sorry, pepani. ...

We were very well looked after, and our time was spent with our friends and family here in Malawi. We enjoyed our first Christmas BBQ, and our first all-night prayer meeting on New Years’ Eve! We’ll treasure the memories we made during our Malawian Christmas for the rest of our lives, I’m sure. And I’ll always fondly remember entering into a new year and decade singing “You are Faith(y)ful Oh Lord” with gusto, surrounded by our church family. It was for sure one of those moments that you catch yourself, remember where you are, and how absolutely blessed you are to be there. Our church family after the Christmas Day service.
