Travleing to Malawi

Three weeks ago we left Ecuador. Since then, we attended Elizabeth Levine’s graduation from medical school in Miami (Lizzy is Dan’s girlfriend.)



And we did a Footsteps of Paul tour and cruise celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. On the tour we visited Athens and Corinth in Greece and the cruise took us across the Agean Sea to Ancient Ephesus in Turkey. We really enjoyed getting a glimpse of the Apostle Paul’s world.


Now, we are in Lilongwe, Malawi, helping out at Partners in Hope Clinic for the next two months. This is our second time here. We have had a great welcome from old and new friends.

This experience makes us feel young again (or, at least, inexperienced). We are learning to speak (some Chichewa), Dick is learning to drive on the left hand side of the road, medicines and treatment protocols are different from the US and from Ecuador, and we easily get lost as we learn the new geography.
