It's not everyday

It's not everyday that you get to go on a boat ride out on Lake Malawi (the 2nd biggest lake in Africa) and see hippos! We were able to take a little weekend away and see the lake...about 4 hour drive. On Saturday we took a boat ride to an island, then off to the hippo pools. We couldn't get too close but they did give us a little show before heading down under the surface. It was fun! Lake Malawi definitely ranks as one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. The water is crystal clear...even more clear than the Caribbean waters and the sunsets were breath-taking. It was good to get away for the weekend after being here for 2 months...there is so much that we have taken in and changed in our lives these past months that a little r&r was needed.




Please be praying for our "Hope for AIDS" peer prevention training that is happening over the next 2 weeks! It has been so fun meeting these 30+ youth that have traveled hours from their village to be here during this time! Education of any sort is VERY valued...so this is a special time. They are learning many things as far as making relationships, decision making, cultivating conversations on HIV/AIDS with their peers as well as Biblical training. Please keep them in your prayers that this can be a sweet time of learning and developing their souls and hearts for others.
