Malawi

We arrived in Lilongwe at 1:15 pm local time (5:15 am Toronto time) after 32 hours of travel! After clearing customs, we were met by our hosts JR and Ivy Andrews along with Scott and Nancy Hunter - a fine bunch of Newfoundlanders. We made it back to the house and some of us had a chance to visit a village a few minutes down the road. What an experience to see the reality of life that is present in Africa. Incredible. The children were so happy to see us, they came running to have their picture taken. They were especially excited to see themselves on video! After only a few hours in Malawi, we had an incredible experience, one that I know I'll never forget!

Hi Bob,

It was exciting to see ur pictures. Good thing ur team didn't decorate u when u were catching some zzz's. We heard u were MIA, AWOL wandering----hmm....almost typical if u take away the almost part. Were glad u made it to the other side of the world unscathed. Africa will never be the same, and may consider changing the times to B.B. and A.B.. WE would just ask the Lord to Bless you and your team, and May the radiance of his coutenance be upon u and your team uniting you under our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We ask for the Holy Spirit to annoit you all, and guide your every move and give you strength, safety, and protection. Blessings Daniel & Joseph

Paul & Dana,
Hello! Glad to know you arrived there safely. You must feel exauted after 32 long hours. There's probably so many different thoughts and emotions going through your minds as you look around. Can't wait to hear of those thoughts.
Keep smiling as you extend your generosity to those out there!
Keep it safe!
Hear from you soon,
Nat xoxo (Great pictures!!! Send some more....)
