December 2008 David & Joanna Morrison Update

The Morrison’s are in their 6th year in Bangula, Malawi. "The seasons are
now more predictable and the bumps in the road well known. Gigantic bugs
(in unheard of numbers) and puff adders are no longer shocking. The
challenges are known, but they still require creative solutions. How can
homeschooling be a pleasant experience in the intense heat? How do we
decide which widow’s house most needs rebuilding? How do we meet the
needs without creating a mob scene? How can we give to one without
generating jealousy?

"Our prayer is often a simple one, “Your Kingdom come" because we don't know what that is going to look like, or how God will work things out for good. It is good to live with the evidence of God’s love poured out; 50 children whose lives will never be the same. Their names have been changed from ‘orphan’ and ‘unloved’ to ‘cherished daughter’ and ‘beloved son’. Their laughter and worship are a living picture of grace, and we are in awe."
