June 12
We landed in Blantyre, the second largest city in Malawi. For a city of nearly a million people, the airport is not what I expected. We got off the plane (which runs twice a week) and stood on the runway as we waited to go through immigration.We were met by our other teammates (Berry and Elizabeth Long from suburban Orlando, and Tom McDow from Nashville), and our hosts: Rev. Nedson Zulu and Sebber Banda. Nedson and Sebber direct the holistic ministry work in Tete Province, Mozambique, but they live MN Malawi because the schools are in English (Malawi was an English colony, while Mozambique was Portuguese). Most of the roads in Blantyre are dirt roads, and are an unending string of roadside vendors; so we bumped and jolted our way to Hudson's house, and then to the hotel where we spent the night.
Tomorrow, off to Mozambique...
