Three continents

As of yesterday morning, my family is spread out across three continents!! Craziness!! The huge majority is still, of course, in North America while I'm here in Europe, but Mom, Daddy, Erika, and Lizzy are now in Malawi, Africa! For the ladies involved, it is their first timeoff of the North American continent. I'm so excited to hear what they think and experience! I talked to a Zimbabwean friend of mine today and asked what he thinks of Malawi. His response was, "The people are great, but watch out for the hippos!"

My parents & younger sisters will be there for a month helping to set up contacts and sort of pave the way for a ministry from their church to start up an orphanage there in Malawi. I think they are even beginning the process of building while they're there.

It has been so cool to see the way my parents have just allowed God to completely change their lives in the past few years. I mean, they have always been godly people listening and following God's call, but He has been bringing them through a lot of changes lately. They are a true testament to the fact that God is in control and when you are truly surrendered to Him, life is never boring. I thank God for the witness my parents are to me and to countless others.
