Arrival in Malawi, 2017

Joey Swartz, Luke Livgren and I arrived in Malawi on April 19. It was a long but fairly uneventful flight, although Joey and I had some delays in Dallas due to weather.  Everything was 'ready' when we got here, thanks to Charles Msukwa

for picking us up and for Nancy and Archie McGlawn for having the guest house ready and even stocked with some food!
The first few days are always controlled chaos. We have managed to make a couple trips to exchange money, more groceries, getting the internet set up, getting our phones all working, etc etc.  Joey is in her element in organizing the medical supplies and medications.
I am trying to coordinate clinics and clinic dates / locations
Today (Friday) Charles came by to take the Rav 4 for the Certificate of Fitness, and dropped off his sweet family to visit with us. Instead of showing you the chaos that currently is our living room, I am posting some photos of the Msukwa family hanging out with us! Enjoy!
