first day of ministering in malawi


wow! today we jumped into it!! i am still prosessing a lot of today. we woke up and went next door to the music teachers 
house for a prayer meetin with the students. i was expecting 
a normal prayer meeting and what i got was sitting in a living 
room in Malawi with a bunch of people from all over the
country calling on God with the zeal of people who actually
believe that God is real and listening and cares. needless to
say that was a great way to wake up! that was followed by
going into chapel to hear Carlton preach. He brought the
heat about anger. I had never realized that in the sermon
on the mount the reference to raca and stuff was talking 
about the consequence for the act. its just cool new info.
i have never enjoyed a carlton sermon as much as today.

directly after that we were invited to tea by our new friend.
his name is Yame (pictured above). on the way to tea time (which is something
that needs to happen more in america by the way) i got to hear
his story and learn about how he came to know God and stuff.
it was rad how similar his story was to so many of the people
i know at home.

after tea cory and i lead a small group break out type deal where
we broke into what Carlton talked about and it was rad to get to
know these guys.

that was followed by a quick lunch of Carol's awesome tuna, and
then we cruised the town around the school. it was pretty crazy. 
Jennie didnt help. her driving on the wrong side of the road. we
lived though.

at that point i was tired but stoked. now me and Cory are solving
all the problems of the universe and i am a little overwhelmed
thinking

oh CRAP a Gecko just attacked me and Cory. more later...
