Monday: Makwala Conference: Dancing, Teaching, and Hot/Humid

We were greeted on our last morning at Mtemba Beach with two surprises.   We saw the fisherman drawing in their nets.  They were paddling dug out canoes.    The second was a monkey who decided to entertain why we had our morning coffee.   I think that he smelled the bananas. We packed up and headed for the church and after conference, Mbeya.  

Bonnie taught on roles and expectations in the church especially for women.   She also spoke in the afternoon drawing together all the sessions using the Biblical story of  Esther.

Floyd continued teaching on Stewardship of our lives focusing on trust, confidence, and blessing.  It was very hot and humid.   

As the conferenbce was closing, Bonnie was given a beautiful kitange and Floyd was given a shirt.   The amazing gift was as we were leaving the pastor's wife gave Bonnie a live chicken--who road with us in the Nissan.  

We also met with Pastor Ephraim regarding the dream of a nursery school.    We are praying with him on it's starting this year.
