We are here!!

Hi Everyone!  We've finally arrived!  After temporarily leaving Jim House in JFK (no passport...ooops! but he'll arrive today\) and after a Malawi Air "detour" through Harare Zimbabwe and Liliongue Malawi, we arrived at Blantyre with 8 out of 10 of our bags.  Mary Beth and Ann were already here and were wildly waving at us from the balcony in the waiting area outdoors.  We collected all we had and loaded it into a van accompanied by Pastor Kalima and several friends.  Settled into the hotel near Chikondi center, had a wonderful barbecue dinner, and hit the hay around 9:00 PM here.

Today, were have visited the Chikondi Center for the Malawi Montessori Project, went out to the Chikondi Center where we will teach on Wednesday and Thursday,and visited several disabled kids and their families at their homes in Ndirande, a poor suburb in Blantyre...an eye opener - Ann got a lot of pictures

Right now just finishing up with lunch at Mary O'Neill's (beautiful estate), and will be out to see CURE International Hospital and Feed the Children where we will teach in the upcoming days. 

Thank you SO much for your prayers for us all - God is answering mightily!
In Jesus' love,
Jan, for the Malawi 2010 team
PS: Jim will arrive around 6PM today with the other 2 bags :-)
