Day 10

Lifeline Malawi Mission House, Ngodzi

Dearest Readers,

Today we woke up to monkey’s scampering across our roofs, hippopotamuses grunting just yards away in the river and tracks from an elephant that came to check out the camp last night.

We had a wonderful breakfast and went out on a river boat cruise. The team was so blessed to witness all forms of wildlife! Two elephant swam out to us and began a playful tousle with us watching very few meters away. These two elephants put on a show and entertained while letting us get some wonderful pictures. The hippo’s also kept an eye on the team and there was a scary moment when we accidentally bumped into one with the boat! There were also many baboons, impalas, ‘toilet seat deer’ (water  bucks), warthogs and many interesting varieties of birds.

On the way home from our safari we stopped in a small town called Balaka for some shopping. Some of the team got their first taste of bartering and some (Victoria) picked it up rather quickly! When we arrived home we ate a great supper and then started getting ready for our day of ministry tomorrow morning.  We are going two by two to villages churches.
