This morning Suzi and Ann Thiesen taught a class to a group of AIDS patients that meet at the Namikango Mission. The lesson was about the hope a person can have in Christ, the fact that one can be forgiven of anything that might have contributed to their having AIDS.
At the end of the lesson each woman was given some hygiene items, a blue basin, and some candy. Each woman was told how much she was loved, and then the group was invited to share ways they could go out and help other people, especially those who have contracted AIDS. A number of good deeds were proposed.
At the end of the session the patients broke out in unscripted singing and praising God. It was certainly a beautiful thing to behold in that these women have so little to celebrate and so many churches do not want them coming to their services.
The progress continues on the new kitchen, although today it rained heavily again. This is the third day in a row.
On Monday we do the field cultivation in Senga Bay with the new V-Tractor. Hope the rains hold enough for us to get that finished. As this is being posted Tom Rich is already en-route here from Indiana to train on the new tractor.
Afternoon was spent in meetings in Blantyre with various people and groups to evaluate and plan future programs.
