So we made it here safe and sound! we met the kids already and they are fabulous. If you can pray for our growing relationship with the children that would be awesome. We start our actually assigned ministry tomorrow (monday). There are so many different things going on. Home visits were we help out in homes, sports ministry for amy tracy and i. there is a widows ministry as well some others things.
we got to go into the market and live like a mallawian. we had a specific amount of money and had to buy food and pots and what not and then get home. We had to buy a live chicken. THEN we had to kill it and cook it. EEEK.
Our electricity goes out every so often and we have cold showers alot. BUT that means we have running water.
MISS YOU ALL

Well it sounds like you are having an amazing time. I can't believe that you killed a chicken gross but i guess you do what you must. things here are about normal. salma is doing great but i am pretty sure she misses her mom. she took a couple of days to get comfortable but now she comes out of tylers room and seems fine. i did have to put up two gates as cash could jump over one and eat her food. it certainly does not stop her from getting out so all is fine. tom left for calif so now it is just me and nicole at home (that is when she is home) the girls are going great and they miss you tons. i will have them email you next week. well i love you and stay safe.
love

It sounds like another wonderous experience to your life. Just know how deeply you're loved and how proud of you we are.
We got your info so we'll be working on the car.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all those who surround you.
Love ya, Dad

Do you have pictures of the chicken cause I am having trouble with that one. It is really fun to read what you are doing. Bob and I are really pround of you and I am practicing not worrying not there yet. I know you will do just fine and I only hope those people know how lucky they are.
Not alot new here Bob is working slowly but he is working.
Kelsy came up yesterday and wanted to make a pie from scratch you know lard flour and real apples she did fine.
My thoughts and prayers go with you.
Love, Gram

Well you have been there awhile now and you are probably having an amazing time. the girls are modeling in my high heels right now and acting silly. your baby misses you alot. she is doing great and even comes and cuddles with me in the morning. she is still not sure of cash but time will tell on that one. Keep staying safe and i love you.
