Kittens, Scripture, Climbing, and Japchae

This morning I decided to help out out Tom in his shop. Upon arrival, I noticed that there were some very small kittens. Tom said that they were about a week old. This one I have in the picture below is the one that Tom wants to keep. Tom was away in Blantyre for his sisters funeral. She had a coma and didn't wake up. Please pray for him to get emotionally healed and to feel better. On the day he came back to Hope Village, he found all these kittens. (Editor: Quite possibly, God blessing him in his time of grief. Something sweet to focus on.)

 

There are four of them. Another black one is hiding behind the black one.

And the one responsible for all these. AKA 'The Missus.'

I will show you a few things in the shop. These are thin razors, but they are very good at cutting things. I have seen the Malawians using these to cut their toenails. Just hoping that they don't cut off their toes. Haha.

Some of the plants that the Malawians grow in their garden.

'Sweety' as the children call it.

Powder drinks -  just add some water.

The soap.

I decided to make a few water balloons to throw at the customers. They found it fun.

In the afternoon, I studied up for the Bible study that was happening tomorrow (Friday). Here I am getting my lessons together on Blue Letter Bible. This weeks talk: Baptism.

An hour or two after I finished studying a large storm came. The wind was quite rough and made the power lines touch which turned off our electricity. I got the feeling that we wouldn't have power for a week or two. I immediately ran inside to turn off my computer to save power.  

Although, cup half-full, I thought about all the good the power-cut would bring with not having to blog as much: I could be a bit more free. Haha.

So I went over to the Luca Home and invited Herold, Intindeli, and some other guy to go climbing on the Gill's house. They agreed. They mentioned this on the way over to the house, "You only ever hang with us when the power is off." I guess that is true, cause when the power is on - I blog, and if not, then I am free.

After getting busted by Darren, I went to make some Japchae. He was okay with Keiran and I climbing the walls, but he didn't want it turning into a jungle gym for the kids since it was the Gill's house and also since it is really kind of dangerous. 

So back at the house, I made this Japchae Stir-Fry. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. It is really good. This is my third time making it.

Ingredients:

 
Instructions:

I had to change the recipe a bit, due to not having all the ingredients, so it doesn't look the same.

Just because zooming in and using the flash makes it look neat.

The final product.
