The girls go home!


Monday the girls (Mandy and Karri) left the Warm Heart of Africa to go home to Texas.  We were sad to see them go, but we know they have things that they must do. We were happy to hear that they arrived in Dallas!  I am especially glad that the weather there has turned unusually mild for August, so they didn’t have the shock of going from African winter to Texas summer. We have done that, and the 110 degree plus weather when you exit the airport in Dallas makes you just want to get back on the plane!
The last morning they said their good byes not only to us, but also to Mr. Whiskas, our beloved worker. We have been blessed to have him help us in our ‘home’ with every stay in Malawi except one.
On the way to the airport, we were able to point out ‘Madonna’s project’ (for any of you who keep up with this debacle. Some ground on the top of a small hill, scraped clean, but no building.

The good news is that Mandy and I both felt so much better on Monday than we had on Sunday!

Praise:
The girls safe visit and safe return home.
Prayers:
Our continued safety here.

 Mandy, getting 'psyched up' for the long, long flight.
 The girls saying good bye to Mr. Whiskas!

 Getting on the shuttle - Karri has the orange shirt with white back pack. We are in the 'waving bay' at the airport - you get to sit and watch your loved ones depart - or arrive - for a mere 200 kwacha (less than a dollar). Guess it keeps out the riff-raff.
