This past weekend, the Bartletts and I got to go camping at Lake Malawi. We spent Friday and Saturday night sleeping on the beach. It was absolutly beautiful on the lake. All night we could hear the waves like we were at the ocean. We stayed a little ways down the beach from a hotel, so we walked there in the evenings to eat dinner. The food was pretty good, but there are resteraunts here in Lilongwe that are much better. On Saturday we went on a little boat to a small island a little off shore. We hiked to the top of the island, on top of boulders and through low trees covered with spider webs (this was difficult because I was wearing flip flops and Ryan and Katie were holding Ella). It was an amazing veiw once we got to the top. When we got back down, we went swimming a little in the lake (don't worry I don't have any parasites- we were very careful). There were beautiful little blue fish swimming around us. It was amazing. On Sunday, we went to a great church. The worship was amazing (this was the first church I have been to so far that used percussion) and the people were passionate about Jesus. They had two incredable youth choirs (I got goosebumps listening to one). It was amazing to worship and learn alongside our brothers and sisters in Malawi!
