Going to Malawi

I am so excited to be part of an amazing team that is traveling to Malawi this summer!! I have been SO blessed to have the support of such wonderful friends, family and co-workers... THANK YOU for all your prayers and encouragement! In the next couple months, I will be learning more about what my time in Malawi will look like and will try my best to keep you updated through my blogs. (I am hoping that this will be a good alternative to mass emails!) If you ever want more info or have any questions, please feel free to call or email!!

While much is still uncertain, I do know this: My heart has been captured by the children and families of Malawi. Each day I find excitement knowing that I am one day closer to joining them (and my heart, as I am afraid it has gone ahead of me!). I most definitely ask for your continued prayer as I get ready to embark on this adventure.

Much love,
Angie
