Friends

We are thankful for the opportunity to visit with old friends and new ones. The family pictured here with Mike is Abusa (pastor) Dimba’s family. Abusa Dimba is from the village of Chidyamaani and works with Larry and Mandy on the orphan care program there. The photo taken at Lake Malawi is with the Makiyi’s. Mike worked with Mr. Makiyi on agriculture/government extension two years ago in Monkey Bay. Michelle and Modesta became fast friends. It was nice that they were able to travel to meet at Senga Bay. There was much discussion about the current agricultural situation as well as catching up on each of our familys’ news. The lovely lady pictured with Mike is Queen. She was a co-worker of Mike’s that became a good friend. The final photo is of two Christian Church pastors from the Southern Region of Malawi. Abusa Gama is on Mike’s right, and Abusa Kachipeso is on his left. They were in the Central Region to encourage a newly planted village church at Mphanda. There are other friends we were able to meet and visit with, but we do not have the photos to share with you; our host and hostess, Larry and Mandy Renfo, the Mama’s at the Crisis Nursery, several co-workers of Mike’s, and many more.
