Our first Elizabeth turned 13 on June 8th. Elizabeth wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Her cousin Roderick is the only child from Good Samaritan to be adopted internationally. He lives in Tennessee.
Our second Elizabeth turned 16 years old on June 15th. She wants to be a police woman when she grows up. Both Elizabeths are in form 1 which I believe is equivalent to 9th grade. They are two of the 13 children who attend private school off campus because secondary school in Malawi is not free. In order for our children to obtain an education beyond primary school they must attend private school. The Elizabeths enjoy singing in the choir playing netball and helping out with the chores at Good Samaritan.
Peace had her first spiritual birthday on June 23rd! One year ago she confessed to God that she was a sinner, acknowledged that their was a penalty for her sin and that Jesus paid the price on the cross. She asked Jesus to save her and to take her to Heaven when she dies!
Other news: Peace continues to be ill with bronchitis. One of the caregivers, Mary is ill with Pneumonia. She has been receiving shots daily and had to spend some time in the hospital. The container will not arrive in Malawi before the Gentry's Leave. Brother Gentry met with the container people this morning (Monday 6/25) and they are sticking with their story that the container will be delivered in 10 days. No matter how many days pass, the story is the same .....it will be there in 10 days. The container will likely arrive in mid July, and may have to stay sealed until Brother Gentry returns in September.
GUESTBOOK: I added a guestbook to the blog. It is located just under the Malawi clock on the right hand side of the screen. Please take the time to sign the guestbook. The Gentrys will have access to the blog when they return. It would be nice for them to see who has been following their journey in Malawi.
