As my 20th birthday approached (on June 8th—I know I’m so late in writing this), I thought about how strange it would be to be away from my family and friends. But, I need not have worried because God has provided me with an amazing ‘family’ and some wonderful new friends here in Malawi. The Bartletts surprised me a few days before my birthday and took me out to dinner with Kathryn and Sarinah (two of my friends from Zion). Their surprise and all the birthday greetings from friends and family in the US made this birthday one of the best yet.
