(Dia de Crianças). It’s a pretty big deal around Lichinga. Children receive nice clothes from their parents, and special food. One family gave their children a very special treat, soda.
After buying 140 bolos (small donuts) for Children’s Day, Victor and I headed into Asumani Village to minister to a certain group of children that we see often. But, many of them were playing in the fields and others were at a special event at the village’s school. We decided to go to all the houses that had children that weren’t at the event at the school. When we preach the gospel here, we have to be careful about handing out food to people or areas that aren’t familiar with us. If we do, the children and adults will come for handouts and not for the gospel. Here, one can quickly get a reputation of trying to “buy” the people so that they become Christians. We handed out the bolos and candy to many children (and the leftovers were given to the adults). We were leaving the area, when the Lord sent us back to one of the houses. There we shared the gospel with one lady who then surrendered her life to Jesus. Hallelujah! When we obey the Lord, we can take part in the wonderful things He has in store for us and for others.
Yesterday, I shared tithing and giving with two of the workers that are helping to build our house. Some of the other workers sat in on the teaching. Most if not all received it happily and humbly as a blessing from the Lord. I pray, that they will be faithful in giving unto the Lord as He is faithfully providing for them. 
We thought that it would be good to take time to include a few facts about our area that you may not be aware of.
Love Tyren and Tiffany
