3 Days in Malawi

We are finding it very difficult to connect to the internet and update the blog, but we are finally here. We only have dial-up so we are unable to post any pictures.

We just spent the last 3 days in Chirombo. It is difficult to even describe what we have done so far. Yesterday we had people making some housecalls while we ran our clinics under the easy-ups. Just as they were about to return to the clinic a mother came with 2 young children who were dehydrated and septic. They drove them back to the clinic where we were able to treat them with antibiotics and run some IV's on them. It kept us there pretty late, but Dr. Ted Moore said they probably would have died by the next day. There are so many stories to tell and awesome answers to prayer, we are all keeping journals and will tell you more when we get home.

Tomorrow we go to another village 2 hours from here and we will be staying 2 nights there. We probably will have no access to the internet from there, but hope to update the blog more on Sunday and maybe even add a few pictures if we are able.

Everyone sends their love to our families and friends. We so covet your prayers. We leave as early as we can load our 6 SUV's with all our supplies, go to the village and set up the clinic and work until dusk. Then we come home and have to restock supplies and get ready for the next day. We all feel your prayers and are all holding up.
