Malawi was amazing! IN the three weeks I was there I was able to grow a fast attachment to the country and people. It was really the last week that I was able to go into the communities and see things as they normally are and I loved it. Malawi has such a rich culture.
Every day this past week I went into the bush and took pictures of the communities. We drove through the dirt roads and then sat in the midst of blowing red dirt. My baths in the evening left an outstanding red ring on the tub and stained my white wash cloth pink from the layers of dirt being washed off. It was refreshing. Being dirty for a purpose is always great. Now Christine can you see the significance of my love of dirt as a child?! Dirt has just been a part of me, I am one with the earth :)
I was sad leaving Malawi but really believe that I will go back in January for a while. ON my journey to Mozambique a necessary pit stop in Zimbabwe was in order so here I sit in Harare, Zimbabwe, preparing to leave by car with a man named Tony for the boarder of Mozambique.
I am trying to visualize the faces of Karl and Ruth as they read this...a man named Tony???What did we tell her about this trip?! But rest assured, Tony is a friend of a friend of a friend. The life of adventure is the one for me, but I am missing Zambia and my friends there, looking forward to getting back with them.
Just a quick update, hope all is well! Love!

I'm so glad you had a good time in Malawi. Sounds like you saw a lot of what I have seen and that you are impressed -- is that why you are thinking of going back. Did you prep for you life as an INTERNATIONAL JOURNALIST?
So, Zimbabwe, Mozambique? Tell me about Tony. We will pray you will be safe. You know we care about you a lot.
Have a great week.
Karl
