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!

Hi Daughter, It looks like a very nice place to camp. I'm jealous. Shannon and I just got back from spending several days in Portland. I had a good time, but it is nice to be home. We stayed in a really nice hotel. Barak Obama stayed there one night while we were there. I did not get to speak to him unfortunately. I am at work so I need to go. Still haven't heard directly from your Pa, but he is OK as far as I know. They are doing sad work...pulling branches and debris out of people's houses and helping bury the dead. We miss you.

P.S. Jamie’s and Van's wedding was amazing. They are still in Kauai on their honeymoon. I will download pictures of everything when they get home.
