Shappe! How are you all doing? I miss you so much but I will be seeing so many of you soon. Well this will be my last time writing from Kasungu. We are leaving on Saturday morning and will be heading to Lilongwe where we will take off for the Safari, which has been hard because it feels really selfish after a trip like this, but they say we will really enjoy it. We are passing over to Zambia to get there and will be staying some where nice I guess. Well we have had a full schedule with the children lately. We have had two tutoring sessions instead of one and I am teaching Standard 1 which is grade 1 except Standard 3 students here are equivalent to the knowledge of first grade in the states. It’s so hard but it is amazing when you start to see a change because of what you are teaching them. I have really seen a difference. I love it. So I just thought I would pass a little note by while I am here but I miss you all and love you so very much. Please keep me in prayer these next couple days with having to say goodbye to this amazing place. It has flown by, it’s crazy. So as it comes to an end I am really trying to realizing all that God has taught me here and I know that I will see the depth of the change in a different light when I go home. I am not going to know what to do with running water or electricity all the time. I also don’t know what I am going to do without these amazing Malawian people. I will tell you when they say the warm heart of Africa they are not kidding. These people are amazing.
We are finishing up a library that we have made for the children of COTN in Chiwengo Village. Myself and a couple other girls have been painting the room and shelves. We have set up a whole thing where they check out the books and everything. Someone is going to be the librarian there too which will be so nice. I am so looking forward to seeing how God uses that. We are also painting a map of the world, we are almost done. It’s just nice to leave them with something tangible.
Last night I slept in the House of Joy and had a little slumber party. It was so much fun. Tonight I hope to stay at House of Hope and then the next night House of Love, and finally the last night in our little courtyard which is out side (but protected, no worries Mom and Dad). I can’t go to Africa and not have one night where I sleep under those amazing stars. Well I love you all so much and I appreciate all that you have done for me to get this far, the words of encouragement, the prayers, the money, the letters. It just all means the world to me. I love you all and will write again soon!
Chikondi,
