<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I awoke this morning and my first thought was to write a letter to Steve and Faye. I grabbed my journal and headed to the back porch of the Ivory Room where I sat every morning at the Baptist Guest House watching God’s glorious sunrise before doing my devotionals. This Wed am on Day 9 of our Malawi mission trip was an exceptionally beautiful display of God’s wonders. I opened my journal to the next blank page and I wrote the following letter in my journal:</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
**********</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Faye & Steve,</i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> THANK YOU, not just for Malawi but for who you are as people and the beautiful way you as a couple live your lives for Jesus. Before coming to Calvary on that Wed eve, Deb and I were busy “Church Workers” but our “works” were not feeding our Spirit. We were spiritually tired and hungry when we arrived at Calvary and our hearts leaped for joy that first Wed we visited for our souls were washed in the Spirit as Steve broke the Bread of Life with us and Faye filled our cup with Living Water! Here in Malawi as I sit here on the east side of the Baptist Guest House on the back porch just outside the Ivory Room watching the beautiful Malawi sunrise and listening to the song of the birds, I smell the wood smoke of the gate watchers and I thank my God for the good night’s sleep and the refreshing of my Spirit. I think back over our time at Calvary and tears pour from my eyes as the joy of my heart cannot be contained - I realize that Steve and you have been “gate-keepers” watching over our souls. You have fed us the Word and you have poured the Love of God into our thirsty hearts. We now have learned the Miracle of Malawi - God teaches all that the Mystery of His Love is that the more you pour out, the more He fills you up! From the bottom of my heart that has been totally surrendered to God’s Love, I thank you for both the direction you have given our souls and the dedication with which you have lived your lives. You are perfect examples of how Christians should live their lives towards others, and because of your Love for God we enter also into the Joy of Serving the Kings of kings. Now, thanks to you & Steve, Deb & I can truly sing “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”.</i></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>PS. Faye --- The first day God sent a bird to sing a song which over the course of our time here in Malawi, God has written each line and He has made it clear to me that it was your prayers for Deb & me that put flight in the birds wings and directed the bird to land in the branch over my head and sing to me a “new song” on Day 4 – Aug 8 that will forever be in my heart!</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> As soon as I had finished writing the sunrise letter to Steve and Faye I bowed my head and started to pray but words would not come as the Holy Spirit overcame me and I wept with my head bowed and my heart bursting with the Love of God! As I raised my head, a man approached me, introduced himself to me and asked if I would talk to him about Jesus? The bird started singing the same song that I had heard the first morning so I shared the Bird Song story with him and his heart was filled with joy! I then said that God had sent me to Africa to deliver the message of His Great Love and I asked if he knew Jesus? He said yes he knew Jesus but wanted to know more and begged me to “Talk Jesus” to him. I started to share and he asked me to wait until he went and relieved the night watchman because he was the “Gate-Keeper”! It struck me that I had just written about comparing Steve & Faye to being spiritual “Gate-Keepers” and here God had sent the actual Gate-Keeper to me asking me to “Talk Jesus” to him. The gate-keeper stopped and said “You must talk Jesus with me” so I asked him his name (Medson) and when did he want me to “Talk Jesus” with him and he quickly said “Now!” He then said I will be right back and he quickly relieved the night watchman and returned. We made a formal introduction and he sat down at my feet and we “Talked Jesus” --- we talked until time for our morning devotionals and as I was leaving Medson said, “We (the gate-keepers) watch the missionaries come and go out to the villagers but you never stop and talk Jesus with us, why?” God made it very clear and impressed upon my heart at that instant that we need to quit “driving by” the gate-keepers in our lives and stop and “Talk Jesus” with them and to thank them in the name of Jesus for doing their jobs day in and day out as our gate-keepers!</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After writing the Sunrise Letter to Steve and Faye and my divine appointment with the Gate-Keeper, I returned to my room to gather my morning devotional readings and once again I was overwhelmed when I pulled out Sister Faye’s card she had written weeks earlier for today Aug 13 – Wed because it read :</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What overwhelms me is that God had this morning sunrise in Malawi planned for me since from the beginning of time when He “…made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day; and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also… So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” So God on the fourth day of creation put the sun in its place and started the cycle of sunrise & sunset for each day from the beginning of creation until Wednesday August 13, 2014 so that I could sit in Malawi watching the beautiful sunrise in the African sky and shout for Joy at God’s creation just like King David wrote in Psalm 65:8 and Faye on Day 9 – Aug 13 (2014) --- God is GOOD!</span></span></div>

Not all of our team could make it; Brandon could not get time off from work and Laura was in the middle of a very important project, but the rest of us had a wonderful time together, sharing our thoughts and remembering our time in Malawi.<br />
<br />
Lanny will be sharing excerpts from the journal that he started a few weeks before we left for Africa, so look for that in the coming days and weeks.<br />
<br />
Also, Joe Veal will be visiting our church on September 28th and I will certainly post some pictures and information about that. We are so anxious to see him again...we are family now.<br />

The music is that of the children in the orphanage and the people we met along the road and in the churches....it plays continuously in my mind...I LOVE IT!!!<br />

<br />
It's a bittersweet gathering...we, the current "team" full of visions of the awesome work that God did in and through us...the others having wanted to go so badly this year, happy for our having the experience, all but Lisa, for the very first time.<br />
<br />
There are so many stories that we will share over the next few weeks and months...probably for the rest of our lives. God has revealed much in these last days but we know that He will reveal more to each of us as time goes by and we are ready to receive it.<br />
<br />
I thank God and the people He touched to give their support in prayer and substance to send us on this journey. It will be a precious memory for all eternity. Thank you, dear friends and family...you will never know how much it has meant to us.<br />

I know we will leave a part of ourselves behind...a big part of our hearts.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Ohio Team, Danny, Jennifer and Sarah left this morning for home. We all had breakfast together and then Joe drove them to the airport while Fedson drove us to The Lighthouse Orphanage in Nathenji to deliver blankets. I also had a bag of bead bracelets that could have been diamonds, the children were so thrilled, and thankful for them!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The women meet in the orphanage sanctuary on Thursday afternoon each week to praise and prepare to head out for evangelism. They invited me to dance along, and I didn't do too bad for an "ago go", which is Chichewan for Grandmother or Grandfather, an old person :-) I will be working on a video of our trip on the long plane ride home, so be looking for that!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we went to the school room where the children were performing some of their songs for us. We were invited to also participate and one of the songs was the Chichewan version of "A Tooty Ta". If you don't know what that is you will have to come with us to Children's Camp next year to find out. Or I can explain it to you sometime :-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed awhile longer with the children and then headed to Fedson's house for a short visit. Lisa had some gifts she brought to Fedson's girls Memory, Jean and Esther. She brought them school bags packed with supplies and a stuffed animal. Lisa has watched these girls grow up over the last five years and is always anxious to visit with them when she is here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We went for our last dinner together to an Italian restaurant and had a fantastic dinner. We drove back to the Guest House, with God's help, without a clutch. I will have to write a separate post to tell you all the funny, and sometimes a little scary, things that have happened with these vehicles. It will read like a comedy adventure!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We came together for a time of debriefing, reflection, and devotion. We've had some of the most moving devotional times here at the Guest House and I doubt that I will ever forget the worship I've experienced in the living room of this apartment. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our clothes and carved treasures are packed, Lanny is writing in his journal and I am sitting here thinking about today, about the last 10 days, and knowing that I will never forget them. I have dirt under my fingernails that just won't wash out...perhaps it never will. I know there are a lot of things, feelings and tears, joys and the sound of laughter and singing that will never fade in my memory. I sense that it might even grow clearer as time goes by. As Joe said tonight, it may be next week, next month or even next year that the memory of an event or a sight will come to mind and I will see exactly what God was trying to show me. I look forward to that because I know that God sent Lanny and me here for a purpose, and I know that He still has much to teach us about the reason we were here these last 12 days.</div>

I was given a chilundu (a wrap) by Abusa (Pastor) Chibwenji and his wife. The design is the country of Malawi and this will be a treasure to me. I was also given the necklace by the teacher. It is made of newspaper or magazine pages wrapped tightly and sealed. These people are so very talented artistically.</div>

<br />
Lanny was outside walking around and praying when one of the gatekeepers came over and asked him to talk Jesus with him. He said that every day we drive thru the gates, passing him by to go out to the villages to speak Jesus. Lanny led him to the Lord. I am not sure if Lanny will ever come down off this cloud!!! He's is high in the Spirit!!<br />

I am not sure where we ended up today but it is certainly a day I won't forget. We worshiped in a village church and Lanny preached. Then Lanny, our interpreter Harold and I were left there to evangelize until time for the Jesus film.<br />

We simply walked from house to house, Harold calling in Chichewan "Come, come to hear the gospel". People were coming from everywhere bringing chairs or mats for us and welcoming us with their beautiful smiles. We watched the children as they sat down in front, the adults sitting or standing behind listening to one of us share the Good News. <br />

As we walked to the next open area the children ran along with us singing and dancing as we went. They were singing about "Yesu", following Him, or serving Him or just loving Him. Several of the women of the local church went along with us and it was an amazing day. I wish I could tell you all the stories of little ones that nearly cried when they first saw us but that ended up letting me hold and love them. They just want to touch and be close and never tire of shaking hands, I wish I could tell you the feeling as they listen to every word and then raise their hand to accept God's gift of salvation.<br />

As the sun began to set we headed back to the church area to set up the film. The YouTurn men have it all perfected. Poles and sheets, generators and small laptops...they can set up and take down in minutes and the children sat patiently waiting to see the film. They play Gospel Music Videos to call the people to come and the videos are about Naaman or Joseph or serving God. Colorful, joyful dancing and again, those melodious voices of the people.<br />

The moon was not out so the night was black and the stars were unbelievable. I could not help looking up at the sky and was just in awe of my Fathers creation. We saw the Milky Way and Southern Cross and a shooting star.<br />
<br />
Lanny preached after the Crucifixion scene and Harold says that there were 800 people there...it was dark so I could only see the little ones sitting around the front. There really are no words.<br />
<br />
The truck returned to pick us up just as we were tearing down the equipment and we headed back to Lilongwe, again like a pack of sardines, but so, so happy!<br />
<br />
We got back to the Baptist apartments around 10 and Lisa, Sara and Jennifer made grilled cheese sandwiches for us. What a perfect end to a perfect day.<br />
<br />
One more day for us here...bittersweet....<br />

This hasn't been a good week for the YouTurn vehicles. Joe put on the spare and we headed back to Malawi. We made it across the border without incident and made the long journey packed in like sardines. We strapped everything on top of the Rover and were joking about Sarah's zebra backpack falling off. Well, it did! As we were speeding down the bumpy dirt road, suddenly we saw it just as Mike, who was sitting it the passenger seat caught it in mid air! "There goes a zebra!" But none of us were any worse for the ware...just a little tired. We had two for one hamburgers in town and came back to the Baptist Guest House for a good nights sleep...after we all got our wifi fix, of course.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
August 12: This morning we had a very moving devotional time together. Joe read and spoke from the book of Jonah and we all felt God's Presence as we prayed to empty ourselves of all except His Spirit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We headed for Kasyia, an extremely poor area, but we only made it as far as Nsaru. We stopped in a large village and preached there. Joe told the story of David and Goliath and Danny shared the Gospel. Many raised their hands to receive the gift of Salvation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We drove along the dirt road dropping off a team member and interpreter at different sights, and ran into a large group of Guli Wan Kulu, a group of "thugs" that scare the villagers and force them to give money and other items. Joe stopped the Rover, we all jumped out right in the middle of them and he started preaching. They mocked, yelled, waved their machete's and sticks, but one of them was obviously under conviction but could not overcome the "peer pressure". But they've heard the Word and God will not let it return void.</div>

Lanny and I were dropped off together and Harold led us to several groups in the village, including a crippled woman that I was privileged to pray for.

We continued on for several hours preaching and sharing and finally met up with the rest of the team in a large marketing area. Lanny preached to a large crowd and we handed out tracts. As we were waiting to get everyone into the Rovers a man came up to us bringing a friend that was ready to take his life. It reminded us of the men who lowered their paralyzed friend through the roof to be healed. Lanny shared the gospel and the young man received the gift of salvation, and no longer wanted to end his life. He asked for a Bible and I <i>just happened </i>to have one. His friend promised to read it to him. What a thrill for Lanny...he says that was his one divine appointment. Praise God!</div>

Now we are back "home" for the night and resting for a very full day tomorrow. We plan to head for Kasyia again tomorrow and show the Jesus film, so we may not get back here until midnight.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">August 7: We arrived in Lilongwe around noon on Thursday. It’s crazy going through all the checkpoints and the lines are LONG!! But we have really had pretty smooth sailing so far. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As soon as Joe grabbed us at the airport we went on a sight seeing tour in order to keep us moving until bedtime. We really had not slept much since Tuesday morning when we left…we had the night in Johannesburg but none of us really slept a lot…still on Tennessee time, plus, Lanny and I were separated because we only had two rooms. Lanny and Brandon bunked together and Lisa and Me. We don’t sleep well when we aren’t together.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Joe took us to the carving market. Not to buy, just to look! It was amazing. The vendors are on you every minute but they are all so friendly and personable that you can hardly resist them. I just kept saying “no kwacha”, no money, and they allowed me just to wander the wares. They are so talented but unfortunately their art is only of interest to visitors, to tourists. Malawians would never buy their wares so it’s not a very good full time income. Joe says that there are only two months that they make any real money. There are lots of professional beggars and they are very convincing to the first time visitor. It hurts my heart.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We went to an Indian restaurant in Lilongwe called Huts, for dinner with the large team from Texas that will be leaving Friday. It was their last night and they were so excited about their week. It was fun to hear their stories of “Micky on a Stick” (that’s the local delicacy of dried mice kabobs), of monkeys stealing their lunch, the animals they had seen on safari… but most of all their stories of the awesome response to the Jesus film and the joy of evangelism to the village people of Malawi. Our adventure starts tomorrow so I know we will have similar stories by the end of this week.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">August 8: I am sitting here doing my devotions and will go down for breakfast shortly. We are staying in the Longonut Guest House for two nights. We are in a small room with concrete floors and walls, and a very interesting bathroom…when you shower the entire room gets wet so you have to be sure the toilet paper is NOT in the room :-) We slept under a mosquito net because there is no glass or screen on the windows. There is no difference in the outside and inside temperature, but even tho it’s winter here we were not really cold. We had warm blankets and each other. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Mike Howell and Steve Lyons joined us, along with the team from Ohio, Jennifer, Danny and Sarah, and we headed for YouTurn Ministries Nathenji Lighthouse Orphanage. Joe bought 50 new blankets to take out to the orphanage. Lanny, Brandon and Danny witnessed at the hospital nearby while the rest of us stayed behind playing with the kids - they reached 27 souls in that hospital. We watched as the women made lunch for the children: goat meat, greens and nsime (sima). We had the privilege to help serve the children when it was time to eat. Joe tells us it costs about $1 per day to feed each child. They have 40 to 50 children at any given time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">It was an amazing morning as we watched the children sing and dance and play. We spent some time watching them play organized games equivalent to our Simon Says and sing in the most beautiful harmonies about Jesus. I joined in as we all stood in a circle, singing hallelujah to the Lord taking turns going to the center to show off a bit, dancing to the beat of the music - the kids are so precious and shy as they move forward from the line and dance - they have such a natural rhythm and movement and voices that thrill your soul!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">After we left the orphanage we ate “chips” in the market area which are fried potatoes, crispy brown and delicious, especially with Joe’s special hot sauce (that he carries around with him at all times). One young man walked up to us, calling Lanny “preacher” and wanted to know more, and Danny witnessed to a man that said he had been sitting there on the side of the road just waiting…he didn’t know for what but knew he was waiting for something…he gave his life to the Lord and praised Him for leading him to sit and wait for the “preacher”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We drove miles of rough, dirt roads, passing scores of people walking or riding bikes to and from the city. Some were loaded down with firewood to sell in town, others carried sugar cane or cassava root. We saw nsime drying in the sun on blankets and countless women carrying water, pots, sticks or large bags of cloth on their heads while carrying their babies on their back in a sling. The people are hard workers here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When we approached our destination for the Jesus Film we stopped to request permission from the chief and Lanny preached to a crowd of around 100 that gathered there and shared the gospel with them - many raised their hands desiring to receive the gift of salvation. And as we drove to the “playground” the children ran behind waving and smiling. I will soon post a video so you can hear the joyous sound of the children's laughter and song? Most of the children had never seen white people and a few of the babies even cried as they saw us. But they are so friendly and eager and soon warmed up to us and anxiously waited to hear the great news we brought to them. The previous chief was wicked and cruel and had forbidden our entry but he is dead now and the new chief was eager to welcome us.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The crowd gathered, coming from everywhere as we set up the screen and played gospel music videos, in their language and style of course! They watched the movie, standing or sitting closely together on the dusty ground and when Lanny preached again nearly every one raised their hand to receive the Lord - around 400 souls were added to the Kingdom that night! After the movie one man offered land to build a church there in the village so a new church was born. One of the local pastors will preach there and oversee until one of the villagers can step in. YouTurn Ministries will provide the new church with a starter package of bibles and curriculum for Bible study and Sunday School. In the particular area we were working they have planted nearly 40 churches. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The entire day was very moving as Lanny, Brandon and I saw for the first time how eager these people are for the gospel - Lisa had told us about it, but you really must see it for it to really sink in. They know there is a God but they just don’t know how to get to Him. When they hear the truth of the gospel they desire Him! It was an amazing day and we are falling deeper in love with Africa and her people!</span></div>

The one we always seem to draw only has two gears, second and fifth so need I say more? The roads are dirt, and believe me, the worst dirt roads at home could never compare. The torrential summer rains wash out large gullies and “pot holes” that make the coal roads of home look like fresh laid asphalt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We were able to reach over 800 people on this second night! Brandon preached for the first time and we are sure that God has a great plan for his life…he says he feels called to the ministry and we have no doubts! This number is just from the film we showed…the other two Rovers also carried equipment to set up for the film in other villages, the other evangelists and their interpreters, so you can imagine the numbers we are reaching every day in Malawi!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We stayed in Mchinji at the Rewards Guest House overnight. Around 10:30 the lights went out…we thought it just meant bedtime but Joe says that’s just the way it is in Malawi - electricity comes and goes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">August 10: We ate early and headed for Mfuwe in two vehicles. We had to cross the Zambian border and that was an adventure. It seemed long and involved but we learned that ours was actually an easy crossing…getting back might be different! About halfway to our destination of South Luangwa National Park our Rover overheated and stopped…right in front of a little village where we were able to share with the people and 13 were saved…God has His plan and even a vehicle has to follow His orders. We had to all pile into one Rover while several of our interpreters and drivers stayed behind to take care of the disabled ride. It was quite a ride with ten of us in one Rover with no air conditioning and all our backpacks in our lap. Good thing about that is that none of us could bounce too high when we went over those huge bumps so no one was injured!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We arrived at the Mfuwe Lodge and they were waiting for us with hot towels, juice and lunch. I have never been to a place like this. Our “hut” has a giant bed, a living area, large bathroom and shower and our own deck overlooking the river. As I am typing I am watching a family of hippos, momma, daddy and baby bathe while giant crocodiles swim by. Just now a family of baboons skipped across our “back yard”, momma carrying her baby on her back. I am in heaven on earth! We will be going to “tea” at 3:30 and then for a four hour night safari at 4. I will have trouble picking out only a few photos to blog, so look for a video/scrapbook after we return home…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We had “tea” at the appointed time and left for our night safari at 4:00. We don’t have to drive far to see animals because they are literally in the park around our huts. But as we went farther from the lodge we saw elephants, with little ones (my favorite animal!), zebra, impala, water bucks, baboons (with babies), chameleons, hyena, mongoose, genets, and what we all wanted to see, lions and leopards. God’s creation is more than beautiful, and seeing these animals up close is more than I ever dreamed I would experience on this side of heaven. And when we returned at 8 the staff were again awaiting us with hot towels and juice. After a supper that I can only say was fabulous, we were escorted back to our rooms because we are not allowed out of our huts alone after dark. There are critters everywhere! On our walk back with our guide we saw impala, more baboons, and genets…we were hoping to see a bush baby. But safari photos will be another post...there are SO MANY great photos I need a little time to think about it. I may just put up a scrapbook....</span></div>

Tomorrow we will head back for more work in the villages, but for tonight God is giving us sweet rest as well as a glimpse at what I consider to be the place that showcases His most awesome creation...the South African plains.</span></div>

As you know, we are taking these large totes with us to leave with Joe Veal for use in the ministry there...there aren't any Walmart's in Malawi so totes are hard to find :-)<br />
<br />
We were going to take empty totes because we really didn't have anything to put in them, but that's because God had other plans. Our totes are now filled with lots of goodies for the Orphanage there in Malawi. Now the missionary that will be serving there in a few months will have room for even more goodies when she heads for Malawi herself!!!<br />
<br />
It never ceases to amaze me how God orchestrates every single, teeny, weeny detail!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard, if not impossible, to get many of the common items we take for granted here once we get to Malawi, so I am wracking my little old brain and following the recommendations of experienced travelers.</div>

It's customary to gift our interpreters, who are Malawian Pastors, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we've chosen some items with Bible verses and Christian messages. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And because they are pastors they like to wear a shirt and tie when they preach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Faye shared a few entries from her past journals that were inspiring and encouraging, and because Brandon, Lanny and I are rookies, we found ourselves overwhelmed at the wonder of God's grace...to allow us to be His hands, His feet, His heart on the ground there in Malawi. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Now to make room for the clothes :-) Actually, I'm not taking a lot - a few skirts and tee shirts, a jacket (it's winter in Malawi right now - days are warm in the 70's but the nights and mornings can be 45-50 degrees...a little chilly), hiking shoes, jammies, etc. I'll make it all fit. Women have to wear long skirts and no sleeveless tops. And because of the skeeters, ticks, and other arthropods I plan to wear leggings and long socks under that skirt!</span></div>

Lanny is impressed with my Procedure Manual...at least he says he is :-) He knows me so well.....<br />

I'm sure something will come up that I haven't covered, but at least MOST of the day to day dilemma's should be easier for her to deal with.. I know I will feel better. And Robbie and James as well as my Daddy are all on call, ready to come if needed! </div>

Of course we need the usual day to day stuff like socks, undergarments, etc. :-) but we also need flashlights, malaria pills, meds for various bacterial ailments that might get us (ugh), insect repellants, sunscreen, hiking boots, first aid kits, bandana's for the dusty trails, duct tape (not sure why, but I'm told it's a MUST)...oh yea, you can fix anything with duct tape and baling wire :-) ...that is a Texas joke.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am getting our stuff together and getting more excited every day. This last three weeks will probably fly by.<br />
<br />
Lanny has done so much around the house so that our house/pet sitter will be able to relax, enjoy our fun and fabulous puppies and not worry about the pool hoses busting (Lanny changed out all the hoses with PVC), or the old GFI failing. It looks great around here....maybe we should go off for 12 days more often :-)<br />

Our sitter is studying Veterinary Medicine (wow, right?) and has been house and pet sitting for years. We are so excited that we don't have to put our babies in a kennel...even the finest ones are still not home. I will be totally at ease about leaving them in Nichole's hands. And our family, our kids, our grandkids, my parents and sister and Lanny's brother all live nearby, so they will all come in and out to make sure those little critters don't miss us too much. I know to many of you out there that don't have FurKids it might be silly, even a little over the top, to worry about such things, but we just do. So this is going to be GREAT!!! Check THAT off the list!<br />

We will leave Knoxville on Tuesday afternoon, August 5th and head for Dulles Airport in Washington. Then we will board South African Airways for Johannesburg...a 17 1/2 hour flight. I have never been a good sleeper on airplanes - even our past two international adventures to Tokyo and Europe were long flights with very little, if any, sleep...I am hoping I can break that record this time and get more than a few ZZZZ's :-) God will take care of it I know! We will get an evening and full night in Johannesburg (in a fabulous hotel, I am told) to rest up before we fly to Lilongwe, Malawi, arriving there on Thursday. That gives us a little over a week on the ground. It's getting close and it's getting exciting!!!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14637625431761781312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260060293523324227.post-32036592056467901792014-06-19T06:49:00.003-07:002014-06-20T06:15:24.791-07:00Team Meeting May 8, 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">We had our very first meeting in early April...Lisa, Anthony, Connie, Lanny and I met at Panera Bread. </span></div>
<br />
Our second meeting was at our home on May 8th with Pastor Steve and Faye, along with our team leader Lisa, Anthony and Connie, Martin and Connie, Paul and Marie, Brandon, Nancy, Laura, Lanny and me. We had some food (of course) and enjoyed the fellowship, prayer, and encouragement of those who have gone to Malawi in the past.<br />
<br />
Our team with be small this year: Lisa, Brandon, Lanny and me. <span style="text-align: center;">Steve and Faye cannot go this year because Faye is having hip replacement...she fought it hard but just could not put it off any longer. Martin and Connie, and Anthony and Connie also cannot go, but these seasoned missionaries and prayer warriors will not leave our sides while we are there....they will be with us every step of the way in spirit! And we could not make it without them...</span><br />

Lisa shared some information about the absolute essentials...like shots, passports, paperwork, etc. We discussed things we needed to take with us and just learned a little about the country, the weather, the terrain, the miles and miles and miles we will walk :-) and the work we will be doing. And we had a time of prayer to ask God's blessing on our travels, our ministry and comfort for those left behind. </div>

Pastor Steve shared the basics in evangelism to Malawi: how to use the Evangcube and speak thru an interpreter. We will go out one by one with our own interpreter and walk from village to village sharing the Good News! Naturally, Lanny and I are a little nervous about that...neither of us has had that experience...but we will soon!!</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Our tickets are bought and lodging reservations are made. We still have some shots and incidentals to take care of, but for the most part we are READY!! My hope is to publish photos and highlights of each day of our trip. We should have internet access in the evenings and I am most certainly taking my camera!! Mark your calendars...August 5th thru the 16th. </span></div>
