from Les and Kathie (21/10):

Hi.

From Les & Kathie Craske while on mission in Malawi:

Friday was a holiday here. So we were able to show the Jesus Film. 20 teenagers were there. It was all powered by the new solar electricity.

From Les & Kathie while on a trip visiting the nursery in Malawi:

Hi. Had a busy two days. Done some training with staff at nursery on hygiene. Please pray that they will grasp it and help the children.

From Kathie & Les:

We have just arrived safely in Malawi.... once again.

Hi, just finished cooking our last meal in village, very sad to be saying goodbye tomorrow. Had a productive 2 days. Weighed and measured all the children, taught them how to play with new toys. Visited primary and secondary schools, bought the mosquito nets and blankets from alternative gift money and finished up the banking etc. Tomorrow we go back to Blantyre for 1 night before starting our journey home, hopefully with no ash cloud! Blessings, L K

Hi, we have had a very good few days. Fri was a holiday here, however a man came to repair the water pump at the nursery, by the end of the day there was no water coming at all! He came back Sat and fixed. We had a day visiting friends on Sat, 1 works in a bible college, a fantastic place and vision. We ran out of time and had to drive back in the dark, this was a challenge! Les spoke in church today, the people responded to the word brought. We have seen some first fruits, 6 people have given their lives to the Lord over the last few weeks because of the work at the nursery. Praise God. Blessings, L K
