Moni from Malawi! The internet is not cooperating so the blog postings will be limited. I think pictures are definitely out of the question until I get back to South Africa.
We arrived yesterday and had a great surprise waiting for us. After a pizza lunch in Lilongwe, we stopped at three village churches on the way to Senga Bay where we were greated by numerous children and adults who sang songs and welcomed us with open hearts. It was a beautiful first encounter of Malawi for the five individuals who had never been here before.
Two great reminders on Wednesday of God's goodness and faithfulness. First, Bree learned on Wednesday night at 10 pm that she needed some antibiotics and we were leaving for Malawi the next morning. Her family contacted a friend who used to live in South Africa. They contacted a doctor friend who contact a pharmacist who called in a prescription to the pharmacy at the airport. She was able to pick it up before we left the country! It is simply amazing how God can do the seemingly impossible.

When we arrived at the airport, Peter and Emma were there to greet us. But they only brought one vehicle and there were 8 of us with 13 bags! But Peter was able to get all the luggage on top of the Land Cruiser and we crammed into every available seat. We looked like the Clampets had moved to Africa! As we were pulling out of the airport, a man who had helped load the luggage on the roof came running up and asking if we had left a bag. Sure enough, one of our backpacks was missing! He ran back to the terminal and grabbed the bag and returned in a flash. It was a good samaritan moment and a nice first impression of the people of Malawi!
