This is now my 9th day in Malawi and ill try to update the blog atleast a little bit.
I arrived at the Kamuzu airport around 1 pm on the 23rd of august and a friends friend came to pick me up, named Thomas Banda. After relaxing for about an hour or so in his house he wanted me to come with him and his wife to a wedding reception, the experience was good and fun! =)
After one night in Thomas house he put me on a bus/coach to Blantyre where pastor Sam and his familymembers were recieving me...I was so happy to see them again!
I was supposed to rent a house nearby, but that failed since the owner of the house wanted 3 months rent right away and i had only sent one monthsrent ahead, i guess the owner was in need of money....but then God opened up an even better option, just next door to the pastors house i may moove in on the 27th of sept, and until that ill stay in Samuels and his familys house, sleeping on a mattress in the livingroom! =) I am not complaining, but i havent still packed upp my two suitcases! there is simply no space where to put my things!
Im running out on time now, so ill just quickly tell u what i have been doing and add some pictures a nother time....
Tuesday last week, we went to a village with a southafrican missionary called Piet. There he held a pastors conference for two and a half days, me and Sam slept in a tent and himself in a tent on top of his car. The teaching was very good and simple, opended up my eyes on several areas.
Thursday afternoon we headed towards Mangochi, wich is in the south of Lake Malawi, we spent a night there on a missionsboat where up to 12 persons could sleep. We had a good time together with the person who was taking care of the boat and his friend from Mozambique. In the morning we went to look at a piece of ground that a friend of Sams and Piets was interested in buying for building a Christian lodge.
Home on friday afternoon, visited a doctor cuz i have been a bit sick, Saturday I was a photographer at a wedding wich was also nice. A sister from church that i had also met before last time in Malawi got married.....atendend a graduation from a bibleschool, went to another weddingreception, went home to rest for an hour, then I went with same to an openairmeeting where Sam preached.
