Muli Bwanji Nonse!

We made it to Malawi! It is great to be here. Monica and Pam are so happy to be back with old friends. We have been made to feel so special and welcome, it is truly beautiful.

Pam's favorite part so far is getting to see Violet again (who is the child she and Chuck sponsor in Malawi).

Cindy's favorite part is just seeing the strength and determination these people have to survive - and the little ones waving like maniacs when we drive by. We're treated like movie stars!

Pegi's favorite part so far has been all the kids. Their smiles and waves and love that they show to us are a huge blessing.

Monica's favorite part so far has been seeing old friends and family here in Malawi and hearing the women sing.



Yesterday, we spent time with the kids. We washed hands and served food for the feeding program - COTN supports so many children! It is fantastic! We were able to deliver many of the items that were sent along with us. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who sent supplies along with us. The suitcases were stuffed full and COTN is very appreciative of everything.




This morning, we got to spend some time with the widows. We were able to give them the gifts of yarn, thread, buttons and more. Thanks so much for the donations - they will be used to their fullest. One of them made us some homemade nsima, rice and beans, and pumpkin leaves. It tastes like spinach! This afternoon, we will go back to hang out with the women. They are such a blessing!



Tomorrow, we will spend time at the crisis nursery and are really looking forward to that.

My Kids and I have been praying for you and especially the children there. We've prayed God goes before you and after you and commands your steps. May you walk in boldness and love to His glory. Your bringing all those donated things to the people there makes my heart sing. Your very presence there is" Jesus" to them. Thank you. I would love to see some pictures.
