We're back but only temporarily

We are back from our trip to Malawi in March, 2008......but only temporarily. We are planning on leaving our jobs, our families, our lives in the US and moving to Blantyre, Malawi in September, 2008.

We looked at the housing situation, looked at vehicles, went to the market and the grocery store and determined that we really are supposed to be in Africa working with Hope Children's Centre in Blantyre. We both felt the call on our initial trip in 2007 but the Lord confirmed it for us during this trip.

We were able to spend lots of time at the orphanage this trip and experienced school with the kids, wash day, cooking, cleaning, playing and worship. It was an awesome time and we have lots of priceless pictures and videos. (Check the link on the left for pictures from our 2008 trip.)

So........now on to planning for our move and getting our affairs in the US in order.
