This May we’ll round out a full 5 years as missionaries in Malawi.  And it’s starting to show.  =)  You know all those weird things you hear about missionaries… they’re starting to happen to us.  I re-use tea bags now, we don’t really have any idea what current fashion trends are in America, our daughter’s favorite animal is an impala and she has no idea what an escalator is, and we’ve started glueing our shoes back together.
Literally glueing them together. Â Matt ran the soles off his shoes. Â Not the tread, the soles. Â We don’t go on furlough for another 3.5 months, so they’ll have to do for now.
If all those weird missionary things are the price we have to pay the privilege of living and working in ministry in Malawi, we’ll take it!
I was there when it happened and can attest to the loss of the soles. He is just so fast – that son-in-law of mine is.
I reuse tea bags too.,…Ha ha
But we have show cobblers on the road side that fix shoes for cheap!
