I realized just now that I had better blog now because I won't be able to for a little while. On Monday I had the wonderful opportunity to *finally* go see Lake Malawi. Helen and I both had business up in Mangochi, so she combined her Mangochi business with a trip to the Lake for Edna from EI Canada, and her friend Beth and Beth's three daughters, Jennifer, Kristina, and Jessica. So I spent Monday on the beech! Then we retired to our campsite for the night. I shared a tent with Edna. As we were chatting before sleep, I had one of those "take stock of where you are" moments and said: "Edna, we are in a tent in Africa." It was one of those moments...good thing the gigantic baboons didn't start frolicking around the campsite until morning!
Oh, and we got into a traffic jam with a herd of cattle on the way back. That was fun too! I'll *try* to post the video...not sure if there will be enough bandwidth...
Tomorrow I am going to Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. I have no business there, but thought I'd hop along for the ride, for the chance to visit my classmate Anna, and to see the city. I'll just bring my work along with me and find a cozy nook to grind away my survey data.
Tsalani bwino zonse! (Stay well everyone)

It's great to hear from ya! Your writing is very characteristic of how you speak.
Wow, reminds me that there's quite a lot of unadulterated creation out there. it's just a little ways from where we normally choose to busy our lives with... with that said I'll get off the comp now. it was nice to read abt Dad's work in Africa via u.
Continue to enjoy be'g a witness/effective communicator with a missional mind - even if it is slogg'g thru data.
Present'g results will be all worth it!
Keep it up sista,
