Our First Week with Fezzick

While awaiting Fez to arrive Bryan worked with the inventor of the concrete water pump to get it ready to be used in a village.


We took it to a village just outside the park where farmers do dry season irrigation and tried it out then gave it to the farmers to use and tell us how to make it better.

Fez took lots of video...



We went to church with Christopher's family and we named their 8th child, a son, Samuel Blessings



We went to Cape McClear to enjoy the lake. If you come to Malawi, you have to see the lake!



We spent one night on Domwe Island so this is us leaving looking back at the Cape

Fun with the Sun... birds

We are in the City again. We are happily awaiting Fezzicks arrival, planned to be a day or two ago... but he is stuck in a sand storm so we are stuck here. Luckily lots of people have taken advantage of our presence and given us plenty of work to do. Better to be busy than idle...

So here are some pitures of birds found in someones back yard... I think some are sun birds but I do not have my bird book to know what type or what the others are.. Enjoy.
