I am not entirely sure why …. but I feel strangely at peace not knowing what the next bits of life look like in many ways. Ron and I look forward to embracing a new culture and looking into the lives of others who are dedicated long term to the betterment of the nationals they serve.
We are excited to learn Malawian ways, to visit the ‘warm heart of Africa’ to study the faces of people whose history is so very different than our own. They will show us images of God and faith journeys outside of our personal experiences. What a privilege! We are grateful.
Our journey begins with a visit to friends who live on the mainland – a time to catch up and enjoy long lasting friendships. From there we will spend time with Martin and Annika, exploring Cambridge for a bit before we continue on to Africa.
But what about today ? it was a delight - visiting with neighbors and friends, talking on skype to Ontario and Hawaii, getting an email from Thailand. Technology was my friend …. for today anyway!
And the housework is almost done – Canadians are spoiled with ‘conveniences’ and we have them in spades. My oven is cleaning itself, the dishwasher has done it’s job and the washing machine will be next to kick in. I am not working hard at all!
The adventure continues!
