Well this is my first blog about Malawi. I've blogged before for Spark People, but this is somehow different. I wonder who would want to read my words or if they will be interesting, but I do want to share my journey with those who want to follow....so here it goes.
This has been an incredible experience for me so far. It amazes me how generous people are and how contagious giving really is. I have had several donations for my trip that came from unexpected places and individuals. I am very humbled and thankful. Those donations really are a confirmation to me that I am headed down the right track.
On Sunday my church raised 40k+ to build the orphanage for the 16 boys. How exciting and wonderful is that? It amazes me how every time a need arises at my church people rally and meet the need. God is so good and it seems his people like to thank Him through their generosity.
On Wednesday I will see the travel doctor and get my many shots. Hopefully all will go well there. It is just one more step towards the trip. I kind of feel like I am on a game board and each meeting with the team or milestone in the trip is a step forward on the board. I suppose that is a strange way to think about things, but none the less, for today how I am feeling.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time,
Amy
