Mary Moore's Birthday in Malawi, Africa!!

Fun fun this world of cyberspace... I got up early this morning in search of Mary Moore because it is her birthday and because she has been in a remote village in Africa with no power and no shower for 5 days!!! And...suddenly I saw a liitle box pop up on my computer screen that said "mama!!". So so happy that made me!!

So this is what she told me... she is is back to the city where the nursery and babies are. She took her first shower in 5 days. (What a great birthday present!!) The group from Ministry of Hope that picked her up from the village brought signs that said "Happy Birthday" and that was a strange sight in the village as they don't celebrate birthdays. They don't even know when their birthdays are! She said everyday is the same, they don't really keep track of them. I asked her if they use calendars and she said "sort of".

But the sweetest thing was that they made her "special porridge" not because it was her birthday, but because she was leaving the village... She was the first white person to ever stay in their village... Happy Birthday Mary Moore!!!
