We're Here...

Friends and Family,

We arrived safely to Malawi on Wednesday afternoon. Our travel was WONDERFUL. Everything ran on time and the leg room on the plane was great compared to last time we made these flights. We spent the night in Johannesburg, South Africa and I could not believe the difference between that town and the Africa we see in Malawi. It looked like any major city in America with it's fancy hotels and billboard signs.

When we landed in Blantyre and I saw the familiar airport signs I was tearing up with joy. I had been a little anxious preparing for this trip and feeling slightly different than last time. As soon as I saw the place, I was reassured that this was the right thing to be doing. Thandie (the woman who runs the orphanage) and Mr. Fullford (the man who is overseeing the entire ministry here) met us at the airport. I had never met Mr. Fullford and instantly he and his wife were big hits with us. They have the best personalities! It was so great to see Thandie again too. She greeted us with big hugs.

So far we've only had time to settle in and get ourselves organized. We attended church Wednesday night at the orphanage and heard the most beautiful music. Today, we went to a bible study in one of the villages. It's so fun to see them soak everything in. Tomorrow we report to the school director to talk about curriculum and our other jobs while we are here.

Our plan for Saturday is to go "soul winning." I am most nervous and excited about this....expect an update about that!
So anyway, we are here. We are safe. We are absolutely in the middle of God's plan for us.

Thanks for the prayers and I'll update again when we get the chance!
