Oh the Babies!!

It's so much fun to keep discovering pictures of our little friends!! And Mary Moore hasn't even come back yet!! Put August 16th on your calendar to hear Mary Moore speak at 10am Hopepointe Church. She gets back Monday the 10th at 2:30 pm. Please pray for travel mercies and that it won't hurt her heart too much to leave the babies..

Mary Moore and Chiosmo Joseph

Never did i really expect to find treasures on Facebook, but tonight I did!!! The first photo I have seen of Mary Moore holding one of the babies in the Crisis Nursery in Malawi. This is Chiosmo Joseph of whom we told the story in an earlier blog. He is a little miracle saved and safe in the arms of those who minister at the nursery....sweet.

Mid Week Children's Program

We are considering a mid week children's program from something like 5-7pm including pizza. We would learn songs and skits that we could then perform for hospitals or anywhere and we might later on use this time for rehearsing parts of our Christmas play.

So... here is the question: does anyone want to suggest the best night of the week for this?

Precious Money Gets Spent

Today was the day that all the money got to exactly where it was intended for. Mary Moore went with a driver and a nurse to the factory where porridge is made. Well the dry stuff that gets made into porridge. She was able to purchase 4 twenty five pound feed sacks full for a grand total of 100 pounds of porridge. That cost was 18,000 Kwachas!?

Then they went to somewhere else and bought 35 cans of dry formula that cost the rest of the money and that was that. She said that should take care of the 17 babies currently there for four meals a day for at least 4 months. Yeah!!!

And we all helped !!!

When Mary Moore returns (soon) we will have photos of all this. In the meantime...you will just have to wait.

Oh... I just realized that there has been no way to comment on posts until now. So feel free now to leave some thoughts.

404 dollars is about 60,000 kwacha in Malawi, Africa

This cute little picture reminds me all the cute faces that came to Vacation Bible School and raised $404 which converts to 60,000 kwacha!Doesn't that sound like alot?! Mary Moore is being taken by the driver of the lady-Mwawi who is the head of the Crisis Nursery, today to get the money from an ATM and then to go buy formula and porridge. She will let us know how much she gets with all those kwachas. She said 100 kwacha buys a coke. But somehow I'm not getting a picture of how that relates to formula and porridge.

I don't know why, but I am soooooo excited for her shopping adventure. She promised to take photos so we could all feel like we went with her.

Mary Moore will arrive back in the USA on Monday August 10th. She promises she will bring lots of stories and pictures from the babies. I can't wait!!
