Off to Malawi

Big adventure number 2 for Easter break begins tomorrow at 7:30am!  Mel, Molly and I are riding with Pastor Sargent and several others to Malawi.  We will be spending five nights in all away from Lusaka and will have many opportunities for adventure! 

We have spent the last two days preparing for the week after we return from Malawi.  Several of the women we teach are originally from Malawi so it was exciting to see their faces light up last week when we mentioned we would be spending some time there.  We also made a couple of trips to the store to get prepared for our five-night trip. 

What’s on the menu for use backpack travelers you may ask…

·       Tuna in a pouch and crackers

·       Peanut butter and carrots

·       Oatmeal breakfast cookies

·       Fruits and veggies

·       Hard boiled eggs

·       Cheesecake

Ok, maybe we aren’t bringing cheesecake with us but Mel discovered a place known for its delicious cheesecake so that is also on the menu.  We will be bouncing around quite a bit to see as much as we can in such a short amount of time.  We hear that Lake Malawi is absolutely gorgeous with all the tropical fish that can be seen there!

Mel and I cannot say thank you enough to everyone who continually reaches out to help us no matter what.  The Holtz family from Lilongwe is opening their home to us for two nights, and several other missionaries from Malawi have offered us travel tips and suggestions.  We are so grateful and feeling extremely blessed to be surrounding by such thoughtful, welcoming people.  They are really helping us experience so much more than we could have ever done on our own. 

We will have many updates and pictures upon our return either Sunday night or Monday.  Enjoy the rest of your week!

 God bless,

Kelsi and Mel
