I spoke to Brother Gentry this morning. He sounded so encouraged! A one year supply of beans was delivered today! Good Samaritan has now completed the dry goods purchase! They have a year supply of corn (1,200 bags), rice, ground nuts and beans! Thank you, thank you, to those of you who prayed and donated funds for this special project! Brother Gentry is now looking into purchasing bulk quantities of toilet paper and cooking oil. He received the bill of laden and is hopeful that the container will arrive in Malawi on Monday! This is great news! Praise the Lord! Please be in prayer that the Lord will provide the funding needed to purchase four solar water heaters for the Children's Home.
I also spoke to Thandie today. She was exhausted and heading to bed early. She stated that Ida (Ivy's sister) has an infected boil on her head. It has now been drained and treated. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery for her. Even a small infection can be life threatening for Ida due to her compromised immune system. Thandie did not have an update on Dorothy the caregiver that has been in the hospital. I should be receiving the photo CD from Thandie on Monday or Tuesday. New pictures! Yay!

Nice editing on that picture....I see he had "Bunny Ears".
If you all ever get the opportunity to spend time with Bro. Gentry he and Alice are the real thing. Very Genuine!
As I placed bunny ears behind his head, he twisted by ball cap right on time for the picture!
That was a great weekend!
I'm embarrassed to ask, but what's a boil? Read my blog; I have a prayer request on there.
A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells that the body sends from the blood stream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
