Let the Journey Begin Wednesday 24 July Malawi 2013

{Yesterday I said goodbye to my host family and arrived back at Grace Bandawe to rejoin the group for a week of traveling and evangelism rallies.

We repacked our bags and departed for Zomba. I thought we were just going to a tourist attraction but we were actually going to Zomba church for lunch and an unexpected service as well. Then we went on our way for a few more hours and arrived at Mangochi, a town right on the edge of Lake Malawi. We arrived at the church of Mangochi for a very long evangelism rally which consisted of us sitting at the front, facing the audience while a few men preached in Chichewa to the audience. We listened to choirs and even got to get up and dance with them. I taught some kids the Macerena! That was a blast. Finally after the 3 hour service we went inside for dinner. I got a scrumptious Malawian Coke which I would soon be addicted to during the time there. We got to our lakeside beautiful hotel and hit the hay pretty quickly.} End Tuesday

Wednesday 24 July

Today was wonderful

-Manual work (brick passing and songs)
-Boat tour on Lake Malawi
-lunch at hotel with open faced Chambo (fish)
-Evangelism at Bindula church village with dozens of children. Happy (the preacher traveling with us) shared about his life before God. So many kids rushed up to the front to be prayed for. Moses the representative from South Sudan sobbed as he put his hands on the heads of children and prayed aloud for them. We left so early because it was very dark.
-For dinner we enjoyed fried fish, rice, beef, and drinks (a coke of course!) A Mel Gibson movie was playing loudly on the TV in the dining room of our hotel.
