Water, Please.

by Rachel

This sight makes for a good morning around here!

The water has been off about 1/2 the time since we got home.  It goes off without warning for anywhere from 2 hours to 4 days.  As of this morning, the water had been out for about 2 1/2 days, and then at 8:30am, it was back!  It gurgles through the pipes in the house, and the quiet noise has as dramatic an effect as a fire alarm.  “FILL THE WATER BUCKETS! FLUSH THE TOILETS! TAKE A SHOWER! HURRY!!!  BEFORE IT GETS TURNED OFF AGAIN!”  I watered the house plants finally, and even started a load of laundry.  Started.  We’ll see if we get to finish it!  =)

We’re Home!

by Rachel

There’s no place like home! And I’m not just saying that because I’m from Kansas!

We got back to Malawi on October 23rd, and, despite the jet lag, we’ve enjoyed settling back in to our home over the last week and seeing so many people we love here. There’s nothing like going away to show you how much your heart is tied to a place. We love that the Lord has put Malawi in our hearts and grown our love for it and the people here over the last 3 1/2 years.  We’re home!

The winner for how to deal with jet lag: Abi.  Apparently the best way to deal with jet lag is to watch an Elmo video at 3am, while wearing sunglasses.
