Malawi Wrap-Up and Final Thanks

Hey all,

So I lost my internet connection after my final post in Africa and have been too lazy/busy to follow up. I know you are all ("all," that's funny) disappointed.

The week ended up well with my team making another village visit, this time to an orphanage run by "Children of the Nations," and a final day relaxing after a long week. The time spent in Malawi will not be forgotten nor will the people, but I must say it is good to be home. It was exciting to get off the plane in Atlanta and see the Starbucks sign right next to the McDonald's sign. Aaaaah, America - like no place else on Earth.

We did get delayed for a night in Jo'burg on our way home because of weather, and then were on standby for the one and only Delta flight that actually leaves the country. It wasn't all bad, however, as South African Airlines put us up in a five-star hotel for the night. Getting home, however, and then having finals later in the week as well as a few papers to turn in was exhausting.

But......I made it through. I would like to again thank everyone who supported the trip. I will probably be collecting all the photographs from the trip and forwarding them on to all of you.

Key lessons from the trip? God is good and appreciate all you have. Done deal.

Take care,

C
