So this is what it is all about...

So you remember I had nothing new to share. How that changes in a day-the next day it all changed. Bob took the seniors to their outreach (remember the village of Mchoka - a previous post I did)and while they were there they saw a little girl with an eye infection. Of course there is no doctors for miles and miles. Bob over heard the leaders Rosemary and Joseph talking and saying to them "we will bring medicine next week" Okay so Bob swung into action and no lets take to the ABC clinic and get her to see the the doctor. So that is what we did. They have never been in a car much less in a city much less in a clinic! Amazing... We got to be apart of all that. That is why we are here. To impact!

Little Melenia here with her Momma Theresa... Her eye is swollen shut and unable to open.


Here is Melenia and Momma Theresa with the leaders (Rosemary and Joseph) of the outreach with my girls... We were able to get medicine and we will bring her back to the doctor to check up on her. You the amazing thing that if they werent going to that village who know what would of happened. What Rosemary and Joseph say probably she would lose sight with such a bad infection. They say it happens all time. We are so spoiled with our opportunities to go to the doctor whenever! So pray that the medicine takes affect and that Theresa eye would be better!








So that night we went to the Junior/ Senior banquet. That is where the Juniors serve the Seniors dinner... and us too!

hello...we are still kicking over here...

Wow time has flown by since my last blog. First of all my internet was down for a week. that really doesn't help. I could check email sometimes but that was it. So really I felt of out the loop. We are busy with School. As you know Bob is teaching 4 classes and I am teaching a bible study with the Senior girls. Nya is busy with school and Analise is dreaming that she was in School. I have been able to meet with some of the college girls and other girls here on campus for one on one what should we call it - counseling or mentoring ( I am too young to be a mentor) or discipleship. I have really enjoyed it so much. Really I have been stretched and learned so much about myself through it. We are on our 9th month here and man we really can't believe it.

So here are questions for you the readers. What is that I have not told about Malawi or here at ABC. What questions do you have for me about Africa. What pictures or videos do you want that I haven't given you. My mind is blank in what to give you next. So Email at amystauffacher@yahoo.com I will answer here on the blog if it not too personal! I will do anthing for my readers.

thank you for your love and support and prayers... Love all of us the stauffy family

Hey you want to join us for our outreach?

So here it is. We went with Bob with his Open Air Outreach that he does every Thursday. These are the seniors of the class... The students designed a ministry in this class and make it happen every week. They do door to door evangelism and work with the local church to disciple the people they bring to the Lord. They are doing a great Job and so here are some pictures...





Here we are beginning our journey at ABC... We left at 1:30pm (during Analise's naptime...) It takes about 1 hour to get to the village of Mchoka.
Inside the bus
