Hello again!
We have been busy every day with going to nursery school and the orphan care Bible club in two villages. We started another Bible club in a center called Msumphi. I have claimed it as my own.
This past sunday, we witnessed baptism and confession of faith. We were informed last week there were over 100 people ready to do confession of faith, which is really good!
I havent been able to get on my blog very much, but e-mail is alittle better to get on to. So either I or my dad will be posting my blogs. I am not going to try posting pictures yet but will try in the future.
Hope all are haveing a wonderful summer!
I am haveing a wonderful time here.
In Christ,
Lenelle

New!s from Malawi
Hello from Malawi, we are all well after the first two weeks or so. Internet is very iffy as we weren’t able to get on it till Tuesday, June 10. We moved from the guest house where we started out in. we are now in a house that belongs to a family from South Africa, they are in South Africa now till a couple days after we leave and then they come back home. As the lady says, we are an answer to prayer because she was looking for someone to stay at her house to care for the dogs and cat while they were gone.
We have been busy every day especially this past week. Every morning except Tuesdays, two of us go teach at a nursery school in one of the villages. While 2 are teaching nursery school, on Mondays and Fridays- three of us go to the Nkhoma Synod/ the general secretary and we have bought new files to replace all the old ones. so we are rearranging them to be more neater/cleaner. On Tuesdays, we all head to the main high school in Nkhoma and teach basic computer skills while a couple of us teach other classes.
Wednesday and Thursday, while 2 are teaching nursery school, three of us are at the high school again teaching computer skills.
In the afternoon, we have started a Orphan Bible Club in two villages which go on 2x a week. we have planned to start 3 more in other villages. Our goal is to have them involved as much as possible so they can continue when we leave. we will slowly be pulling out. So far, we have one of the villages doing all the Bible stories and activities.
Well, that is all for now. I hope to post again next week on our progress, but cant make any promises since our internet isn’t always letting me on the sites I need.
God Bless!

Lenelle was in contact with her family inGrand Rapids, Michigan today. Rick Postma made a conference call to us and the next thing we knew we were talking to Lenelle in Malawi. She is truly enjoying her time there and wants everyone to know that she hopes to be on her blog next week. They are adjusting to the temps of 70 at 6AM 80 at Noon and 70 again at 6 PM. Sounds tough right?
She thanks you for your prayers and so do we.
Lenelle's parents (who were happy to hear her voice and to know that she is doing well.)
