Hallelujah

As yesterday came to a close we ended it off with a yoga session after supper with Tracey and I as instructors. That was interesting to say the least with Taylor trying to do the downward facing dog. But off to bed we went, and as I went to bed thinking tomorrow was just another day, the team had something else planned. I woke up to a rap, yes, a rap. Beat boxing was heard and instantly I knew what was happening. I was getting my birthday song rapped to me with clever lyrics and smiling faces. Breakfast in bed, hot chocolate powder, and a volleyball all signed by my loving team was given to me on my special day. Honestly, I thought I’d just be jump on in the morning with them yelling happy birthday. Thankfully, I was completely wrong. 

But we soon began our day after my little celebration in Malawi. Today there was church, a church full of laughter, smiles, and of course, dancing. We started with some of our classic Canadian songs, and then soon they broke into their own music, all of us baffled by the different language, just danced and clapped with them. Without words we could still join together in Gods family. We soon came to a close with singing and began to share our testimonies, I think all of us are getting a little warn out about sharing our testimony over and over, but this team I am surrounded with still does it full hearted. Its beautiful to see the impact all our stories make in the lives of others. Julia then shared the message of the day for church, she once again did a fantastic job as she did last Sunday in church. They have all agreed that she should stay in Malawi and become the official pastor for the churches. I think our whole team can join together in agreement to that.

Our day ended earlier than planned, we pretty much have the whole afternoon off to bond with our two Malawi friends who have been beside us since the beginning, Augustine and Dorothy. Two loving people, who will be terribly hard to leave on our last day. 

So we are now relaxing and tomorrow morning heading up to prayer mountain. A long journey ahead, which will definitely have stories in it to share with all of you!

But, as the Malawi church people say, “Up, up, Jesus, down, down, devil.”

Praise the Lord, and Hallelujah.
