Ok, so this morning Sam took Kate and I and our new friends from Texas to a small wildlife refuge not too far from here called Kuti. Whele we didn't see too much wildlife, we did get some great pictures of a baboon, some zebras, ostriches, and camels. No, camels are not indeginous to this area. The refuge brought them in recently to serve as tour animals. They have not yet been fully trained, but they're pretty good, so we got to pet them. It was a really great little outing. I think we've pretty much gotten acclimated to the time change and scenery change. We're gonna try out church tomorrow, which should be an incredible experience. Then Monday we start to work. We're really excited to get into doing something productive. These last few days have been very nice, being here on Lake Malawi just getting familiar with the people and places. We have many pictures to share, and will be sure to do so whenever the next time is we get to Lilongwe and can get a decent internet connection. Until then, thanks for reading, and keep us in your prayers. Thanks! Jarrod and Kate
