Funnel Cake Ministry??

So, food is a big part of our life here in Africa and after a dinner of pork chops, twice baked potatos and green beans we thought, why not funnel cakes? WELL...I made the mix and tried to blob the mix into the FIRE HOT grease and this is what happened... (scroll down to the next picture to find out the rest of the story!!

So...I called Kendall in my despair and he came to the rescue.

This is what Kendall's funnel cakes looked like!! YUMMY!!

We knew that our workers needed something to say "Zikomo kwambiri mwagwira ntchito" (Thank you very much for your work) so we called them over to the house and gave them each a funnel cake to enjoy this warm, breezy Zambia evening. It was AWESOME to see the smiles on their faces when we shared this dessert with them. In the picture, from left to right, Matthew (our gardener and gatekeeper) holding his daughter, Gladys, Martha (Matthew's wife), Geoff (our night guard on the weekends and who we are helping go to school), me (the mzungu, white person), and Zeria (our house helper, nanny, my language helper, and GOOD friend!) The great thing about this picture is that they are all smiling, Zambians normally do not smile, but they did!!

This was a great night for our family to minister to the people that minister to us so much here in Chipata! Who knew that the Lord could use a funnel cake to say thank you and we love you?!
