Moni, muli bwanji? (That means 'Hi, how are you?' in Chichewa - the language of Malawi)
Things in Malawi are great! We have limited access to the internet so I'm not sure how often the blog updates will come, but I will do my best! I'm also going to try to upload some pictures next time I can get to an internet cafe, I've already taken over 300!!!
We arrived to Lilongwe last Thursday (the 12th) around 1:30 but by the time we made it to our house (Crescent Guest House) it was evening. Since this is winter now, it gets dark around 5, so we ate granola bars that night. The time change didn't really affect me at first, but it has caught up with me now, and I'm having a hard time sleeping. Our house is really nice, we have three bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a kitchen, dinning room, living room - I guess you could say we're not living like most Malawians. The Guest House is a compound surrounded by fence and we have three security guards which are on the grounds at all times. I think we all feel pretty safe.
It's definitely different being out in public though - EVERYONE stares at us and yells 'mzungu' which is Chichewa for 'white person.'
Shoot - our taxi just returned to take us home from the internet cafe, so I will try to write again very soon!!
I miss everyone, and thanks for all the well wishes!!!
