July 6, 2011

I can’t believe we only have two day’s left in the schools. It is so crazy that we have already been living in Zomba for more than three weeks. A week from today we will be back in America…crazy!

Tomorrow we are having a celebration dinner at MIE with our teachers. I think it will be sad to say goodbye to them. We have prepared a song to sing in Chichewa and I’m sure they will love it. We have been taking drum lessons every Tuesday and I think that we might do a little drumming as well. Ashley and I have been invited to McDonald’s house for lunch tomorrow after we finish up in the classroom. I am excited to see what we will be served and to meet his family. He told us he has four children. I hope they are all there so we can meet them. We are going to bring his kids and wife some bubbles, beads, and other fun stuff. It will definitely be a long day, but filled with really fun activities!

Today is Malawi’s Independence Day. We walked downtown for some of the day and they had put out the Malawi flags on the light-posts. We all though that was pretty cool to see the patriotism.

Everyone is ready for Club Mak on Sunday. Dr. Kelly said we would be leaving early on Sunday, in order to utilize the most amount of time there! I am really excited to see what the Lake will look like. I bet it is enormous and beautiful!
