Windmills and Zone Conf

Zone Conference time again in Lilongwe then back to Kasungu
 for more teaching and organizing. 
 We also were able to see a famous windmill... see below.

We visited an Academy about 30 minutes from Kasungu.
 Grandma says it was just like Hogwarts from Harry Potter.
 It was really beautiful.  It was like a small college campus
 with a large auditorium, dining hall, swimming pool, etc. 
The school was a boarding school for Primary to Secondary students.
Only the well-off could possibly attend.  

Of course Grandma loved the library.
While in the area, we went to Wimbe village and saw the original
 windmill built by a young boy who couldn't afford to go to school.
 He checked out books from the library and learned about electricity.
 He built the windmill from flattened out pvc pipe, a bike frame/chain,
 and a bike light generator. Everyone thought he was crazy until
 they saw the light in his house. 
 "The boy who harnessed the wind" is really worth reading.  


It was so interesting to visit this windmill after we read the book.
 We were able to meet the boy's mother and father as well.
 There's not much different about this village than any other
 village in Malawi but it was fun to actually visualize it. 
Grandma's primary kids coloring a page about Book of Mormon Stories.
 They absolutely love to color.

Baptism of a wonderful family (4) and two other great Saints.
  Up to March 1st, there have been 89 people baptized in Kasungu.
 What a blessing to behold.  Just waiting for approval to form a branch here.
 Missionaries can't keep up with those wanting to be taught.
