We missed writing our newsletter last month (March, that is) and we're kind of late for April, but finally there's an update from us here in Malawi. We've finally written the story of Alex breaking her leg, which made for a hectic March. We had visitors coming in April, the mother-daughter team, and Alex was planning to drive them around, spend some quality girl time at the game park with them, etc., but those plans didn't work out because she wasn't able to drive with her broken leg. But everything has worked out and we really enjoyed our friends' visit. I hope you've been able to follow their blog.
Now it's getting cold again, time for sleeping with blankets. We're also getting ready to leave in July and still trying to figure out what's next for us. Anyway, hope you enjoy our newsletter. Thanks for following what's happening here in Malawi.

orphan care pictures
We've been quiet for quite some time, seem to have fallen off the radar with our last blog a month and a half ago. Sorry. Maybe no one is following our blog at all anymore these days because there hasn't been anything new (but statcounter tells me otherwise, there's still quite a bit of traffic), but it's time for a little update and some pictures at least.
So what's new? Well, first off, if you have not heard yet, Alex broke her ankle/leg just a couple of days after our last post. Pretty badly too. Needed surgery, acquired some steel hardware, in a cast and on crutches for six weeks, not to mention having to set her leg on the spot in the back of a car. We'll write more about that in our next newsletter. So other that fiasco, we've been keeping busy with various projects. For the last two weeks, we've had our friends from our home church visiting with us (see post below). We've been doing ministry at several orphan care centers with them, which has been a tremendous blessing to the children and their communities, as well as for Darlene and Sydney. You can read more about their time here on their blog though, so you get their experiences first hand.
Here are a bunch of pictures (83 of them) of their ministry with the orphans and other vulnerable children.
Hopefully we'll get a newsletter with more substance out one of these days soon so you can read about the other excitement we've been part of here...
