No, I didn't stop blogging...I spent the last two weeks in Malawi. Malawi is one of those National Geographic type places in the south central part of Africa. If you are a Madonna fan or not you may have heard of it and Kendal Orphan Outreach...she was recently there.
For the the last two weeks I have worked each morning learning the trade of a brickmason the traditional African way, going from village to village participating in indigenous youth programs designed to care for the needs of AIDS orphans, hiking through the African bush on foot encountering wild elephants, and trying my skills at shopping the city markets. Did I mention sleeping on a concrete floor for two weeks and the 38 hours of travel flying, sitting in airports, and shuttling from one place to the other it took to get home.
It's good to be back...there are a lot of church planting stuff going on...I can't wait to tell you about.
David:
Glad that you had a safe trip back. Just curious, but with so many days out and about in the world, with about how many people did you have a chance to share the gospel? Did you do any preaching or teaching amidst all of the bricklaying or caring for those with AIDS? How many people were lucky enough to hear about their sin, their price of redemption, the cross, repentance, and the like?
I'm looking forward to reading your stories about your trip.

David,
Can't wait to hear about it. We'll have to save some time on the 12th!
