So we made it back to Malawi safely and without much incident! Thanks to all who were praying for us....we even had a nice hotel in Ethiopia! All of our bags made minus 2 of the Holland's cell phones. They were taken out of their carry on bag when they made them check it at the gate.

Currently the Tangs are staying in one of the guest lodges at ABC and Mark and Deb are staying in our house with us until Sunday and then they will move to the guest lodges too. It has been alot of fun having them here with us

Of course we hadn't been in the house on Monday afternoon (the day we arrived) more than 5 minutes before I got a phone call from the clinic. One of the other missionaries daughters had been playing outside. Some kids from the other side of the security wall were launching rocks over to our side just for fun and.....one hit this little girl in the head. So after 48 hour of very little sleep Mark and I headed to the clinic to do stitches for the girl. Thankfully it wasnt very deep and was easy to sew shut. She didn't end up with a concussion or anything scary like that either....welcome to Malawi Mark!

Starting next week Mark and Deb will be helping out at the ABC clinic with me. Mark will be seeing patients in the private end and covering the inpatient unit. Deb will be helping me get stuff organized to open the OB unit in early October! We are so glad to have both the Hollands and Tangs here with us!

I want to thank everyone for the great time Kimmy and I had while we were home. It was great catching up with everyone!
