Chris sent me an email last night:
"We made it to our hotel in Lilongue."Nelly's House". So far so good, oh except that none of our luggage made it. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow. There is only one plane in a day from where we flew in from. The trip was long but you know you arrived in Africa when you basically land in a cow pasture/desert. I will tell you specifics when I return. It is 8 pm here on sat and we are all going to bed. The jet lag finally hit us. We are going to church tomorrow and then hopefully to the airport to get our bags. Then maybe shopping? We are only going to the village monday through friday when the organization will be there will us..."
Not much had happened since they just barely arrived and were getting settled in. I am sure he will write more soon-or atleast tell his story when he returns. He told me the internet connection is very slow. If you want to email him- its chrisliles04@yahoo.com and I know he would love an email. Chris is especially excited for Monday to roll around because thats when they will be working in the village the Church has adopted and doing whatever else might come their way.... More soon!
Also- there is a blog that is linked to our church that another woman on the trip should be keeping updated if possible. There is more info on past trips and what all is happening there so feel free to check it out: http://malawiblog.terapad.com/
