WINTER WORK

We would appreciate your prayers regarding our Winter work!  Those of you in the cold West might not appreciate our situation here.  We realized recently that we have not only NOT been through a cold Wyoming winter for 2 years, but we haven't even been through a cool Malawi Winter yet.  We have had nothing but warmth to warm our blood for 2 years and we are feeling it right now in the Southern Hemisphere!

The temp is getting down to about 10 degrees C / 40-50 degrees F.   Now, that ain't cold, but it sure feels that way nowadays!

BRITNEY UPDATE

After a long plane trip (though very easy and relaxed compared to last time if you recall our trek to Ethiopia), my roommate (Ashley Chinchen) and I arrived safely in the Lilongwe airport where we met our families and went happily home to sleep off our jet lag. That was a Sunday, and after taking it easy for a few days, I started helping out at the academy that Friday.

Until school gets out for the "winter" (so confusing--all us Americans keep accidentally calling it the summer holidays), I'll have basically the same schedule; I aid for four hours in the mornings: most of the time, I'm in the 6th grade classroom with Shea (my brother) and Lisa Kowalski (Shea's teacher who is like an adopted sister to me J). Lisa is an excellent teacher, and I've been extremely thankful for this chance to observe how she runs her classroom: good practice for me as I am studying for my elementary education degree (focusing on middle school) at Covenant College in Georgia.
