One day in the Life of a Room

 

On Wednesday, the Living/Dining room of the Visitor's house would have had wonderful stories to tell if it could talk.  The day started at 8:00am with children arriving for classes.  This space is used everyday from 8:00-1:30, with a break for lunch, for the children's classes.  There was singing, lessons, building with blocks, and artistic activities.

 

At 2:30 the Chimwemwe Ladies arrived.  We have been using this space for the meetings since it had been quite chilly and somewhat cloudy.  It didn't seem like sitting outside was a very good idea.  We had a Bible lesson, medical information, and work on the various items the women are making.  As at most meetings, there was singing.

 

At about 6:00 the mothers and children arrived for our family dinner.  More joy, happy interactions between children and adults. 

 

Although this room has no furniture except work tables, shelves, and plastic chairs, along with a new dining table, the space is used for so many things and is blessing so many more than those of us who sleep in the house.
