The second week of August our family was blessed to travel with a medical team 2 hours outside of Lilongwe to a village named Gusu. It was a long ride. 1 hour on regular paved roads and then 1 hour on very bumpy dirt roads that resembled the bumpiest rollercoaster ride ever! But in the end we were able to receive this amazing reception as we arrived.
The team we were with (E3) is involved in an ongoing process of assisting this village to meet all needs they have including physical, emotional, and spiritual. Here is a picture of how they are aiding in building a school room for the surrounding villages. Each village is responsible for providing a certain number of bricks that will be used to build the school room.

What an amazing experience we had! Over 300 patients were seen at the medical clinic and our prayer is that the village continues to grow in the Lord and all other needs will be met.
