About 97% of Malawians don’t have electricity. We are reminded of that fact every time our power goes off (only once every few weeks). Last week, our power was off the longest it has been since I got here- about 30 hours. While we were using the generator to keep our refrigerator cold and getting ready for bed using candles and oil lamps, we had to remember how blessed we are to have electricity at all. Over the past 7 months, I think that God has changed all of our attitudes about the power, internet and water. We are much more grateful for all we do have, and have learned that we really CAN live without some of the things that we all take for granted in the US. Anna and Lydia have even said, “I want the power to go out again so we can have a candlelit dinner!”
