Visiting the New Canaan Church (Church that Gerrit and Gretchen attend regularly) on Sunday was a very special experience.

We were warmly welcomed in the church yard by the Reverend and his wife, as well as other friendly church goers. Many Malawians must travel a long distance to church, so they like to hold one longer service per Sunday.

We had some wonderful days with our family and the Oomens – special for Ben and Gretchen (cousins) to learn more about each other and spend time together! The children enjoy playing together too!

Saturday we went out for the day with the Oomens – they took us to the wood market, the Blantyre market, People of the Sun store and to get some groceries and we treated them to a little KFC! It was a great day spent together and we ended the day meeting with all the expats and visitors in town for a welcome dinner at a mall food court. This location was chosen so that all the children could join and enjoy as well!

What to write? How to express what has all been seen and heard? It’s really not possible. Impressive, beyond comprehension, humbling, and inspiring are just a few words that come to mind.
