Opportunities to build relationships with neighbors at Open Day
Vehicle Issues
It’s a real cause for thanksgiving that the reconditioned Brake Master Cylinder we brought for the Land Cruiser send to have resolved its braking problem. There are a few other ongoing issues with the car, as to be expected with such an old vehicle, but this gives us some heart that it’s worth continuing to work on it.
Also very glad to report that the Adblue problem with the Mitsubishi truck send to have been resolved. Thanks for praying.
Regrettably there is not much progress with the Isuzu which is still of the road with engine problems. The mechanic working in it has given lots of excuses, and we frankly don’t know what to believe. He has requested another week or so to resolve it, but if has been going on for many months already, so this doesn’t instill a lot of confidence. Please pray.
Safe and trouble-free travel
Brother Stephen (Harper) flies to Malawi from Dublin on 11th November, Brother Bill (Williams) from Washington on 14th, and Brother Jim (McMaster) from Newcastle on 17th.
Please pray that each with enjoy safe and hassle-free travel and that their time in Malawi will be profitable.
Update:
Bro Jim had to cancel his visit due to Covid-related issues at home
Great co-workers
Give thanks for good relationships between co-workers who really complement and help each other.
That’s true of the relatively new team in Malawi, and it’s certainly true that the trustees in UK have great rapport.
Seeing Norris at the site every day, happily working alongside the carpenter
Anna reports that it’s been a real encouragement to see Norris at the site every day, happily working alongside the carpenter.
Norris is from the Child-Headed Households group and we have been trying to help him learn carpentry skills as unfortunately he’s now too old to go back to resume his school education.

Slowly but surely relationships with the children from the child-headed homes are strengthening (Anna)
