How are you getting around (transportation)? Have you met any strange wildlife (bugs)? What other activities do you do with the kids? We will work this week to learn a greeting in Chichewa, perhaps we will be able to greet you properly upon your return. LFUMC kids had their promotion sunday this week, your Mom led the funnest program of the "Would you rather" game. For example, the kids asked the cong. would you rather be in the wilderness for 40 days or on Noah's ark for 40 days?"--kids and adults gave their answers and it promoted discussion, and was fun. Of course, we are praying for you. Have a wonderful trip and weekend. Blessings, kelly Lot’s of practical questions on this end from the prayer team:

I had coffee with your mom and the other 4th grade teachers earlier this week and heard more about your adventures then. I'm so pleased to know you have this opportunity and am sure you're making the most of it. Pace yourself as you move through the weeks ahead. Do you know that Steven Curtis Chapman song, "His strength is perfect?" Maybe you can find it online. It's kind of an Isaiah 40:31, "renew your strength" kind of song. Looking forward to keeping up with your activities! God bless. Sincerely, Steve Campbell Hi, Janelle,

I am sure that you will carry with you what you are seeing and feeling here as you go forward. I share with you the excitement of seeing children and youth engaged in wholesome and encouraging activities. Blessings to you as you serve the medical community. You have so much to offer in so many ways. Tinashe appears to be showing you many facets of life in Malawi. I thank her for that. Love to you as you continue to experience life in a new way.
