We are here!

We have arrived. We are exhausted, but we have made it all in one piece. God is very good and he has provided for us at every step. We have many stories to tell already and we have not even arrived at our destination. We are in Lilongwe, Malawi, and after what we hope to be a good night sleep we will make the 330 kilometer drive to Mzusu in the morning. It will take most, if not all of the day to get there. Then the real stories will begin.

Please keep us in your prayers. It has been very challenging so far, but we have seen that God is faithful and has provided for all our needs. We had a hitch in NY with our bags, but God has been gracious to us and we received all our bags and everything we bought appears to be here too. Brian got sick before dinner and went to bed without eating. We think it was exhaustion and motion from the plane. We will see.

I am not sure if I will have any access to the computer before we come back here to the ABC Bible College next Monday. If I can get access somewhere, I will give you some update. I wish I could write more, but the time has come, and we must go to bed. It will start very early in the morning.

God is doing great things!

Ric and Brian,
We miss you guys A LOT!!!!! We esp. missed Brian when we had to take out the big trash cans (Ha Ha!!) !!!! We were so sorry to hear that you were sick, Brian!!! We hope you're feeling better and got a good night's rest! We are praying for all of you guys, esp. for your health!
We had a great day of worship, but we missed you TERRIBLY!!!!! Jillian and I were so blessed at the baby shower, and the young lady and her mom were so touched by the love that they felt there! What's really crazy is that the mom of the girl who's having the baby knows my sister Leanna from teaching in the Long Beach school district! We had a great time of fellowship!!!! Joshie and Daniel were not able to go fishing because it was too windy today, so they just went to Abraham's house and played with him while we were at the shower (Moe promised to take them fishing another time!). Josh was so disappointed! Oh well.
Well, I'd better go. I'll keep praying for all of you!!!! Tell the others we said "HI!" Lots of love, Julie (that's "Mom" to you Bri!)
