A Full House!
We have visitors! Â The Taglieres and Vances came to stay with us on Saturday, and we love having them in our home!
It’s been a trip full of the unexpected for them, so we’re glad to give them a place to stay and use as home base while they figure things out and get to see a bit of Malawi.  You can read about what brought them here on Laura’s blog, and then please keep them in your prayers as they make decisions and arrangements about when to head back to the States.
An added bonus of these great visitors – Abigail is soaking up the grandmothering while she can!
That Rings a Bell
We’ve needed a bell for church. Â We have tea time before church, and it’s difficult to get everyone moving into church on time, so we started looking for a bell. Â The only one we could find was about $40, and we decided that was a bit much for a small bell for tea time. Â Who knew it could be so hard to find a bell? Â Then our friends the Taglieres found this beauty for us:
Isn’t that great?! Â It’s the top half of a wine bottle, and the clapper is the very top part of a soda bottle. Â Add a string, a cork, and a little bit of wax to hold it all together, and you have a bell! Â We’ll try it this Sunday!
