COTN Malawi Interns 2009

His love is new every morning

Each day in Malawi brings something new; both exciting and heartbreaking. We were reflecting the other day on how tired we were and couldn't figure out why...and then we realized we love spending time with the kids and holding hands and singing songs and jumping rope and playing soccer and learning to read and...then it hit us! We are very energetic and emotionally involved when we are "on" and while it is so good, it is exhausting! Thankfully we are well fed and have a little down time scheduled between every activity.
At Mgywai we just started our second week of school. It is such a blessing to be met each day by eager students ready to learn and so happy to see us. We are seeing progress little by little and it makes the strife (of 50 1st graders in one class!) worth while.
We are waiting on specifics from the group at Chewengo, but rumor has it the girls are loving the kids and their jobs- Amen!
We are leaning on God daily and learning that though each day brings something new, His mercies never fail us.
Thank you for your prayers and kind words.

Even in the best of circumstances our bodies react to emotional happenings with that "wiped out" feeling. I'm praying that your team will have time to recharge and truly relax between and after 'shifts'. I'm glued to your posts so I will know how else to pray. And I'm always looking for a glimpse of my Gabe. :)
Blessings to you all!
