Welcome to "Through a Glass Darkly" - my blog about my service trip to Malawi, Africa.

I left Canada on December 30th for Blantyre, Malawi, AFRICA. I worked with Friends of Malawi Fellowship (FOMF), the organization headed by my aunt Phyllis Labrentz. I taught English language and literature, helping secondary high school students learn to read and write English well enough to pass the government exams.
During that time I was also kept busy teaching guitar, singing, and assisting my aunt.
I left Malawi on July 19th and returned to Canada on July 20th.

MIRACLE #1

3 days ago I accidentally killed my brand new printer (that I'd brought with me in my suitcase).
Voltage is different here, and I didn't know that the converter I use for my laptop, personal fan,  and phone/camera/battery chargers wasn't sufficient for the printer. I plugged the printer into a different place--and there was a pop! and smoke poured out!


:( I cried. Yes, I did, and I wrote a very sad email about it to Marty, too. He encourgaged me to put the negative aside and keep going. Arnold Banda examined it and also pronounced it deceased.


The next day I asked one of my students, "Can God heal a printer?"


The day after that Arnold was preparing to help the computer teacher print some papers for the principal (we're very selective about what we choose to print here because of the cost of paper and toner). He felt God prompt him to use my printer instead. So...he plugged everything back in (using the power converter that sits on the floor and looks like a big cell battery), pressed the power button...AND IT CAME ON--AND IT PRINTED EVERYTHING!
