are you working everyday, are you working just to bleed?

i can't believe it's been a week since i left my house to start my journey to malawi, and now i'm here and the time has just flown in.

i started my time in school with joseph and kaitlyn this week.  the first day i just observed and joined in the songs as much as i could.  the school we were at this week is a public school so most of it is entirely chichewa speaking with a the oldest class knowing a bit of english.

on the second day i began teaching lessons on the good samaritan (although it wasn't as good as when i taught it in college) which was really weird because i taught it in english and then joseph translated it into chichewa for the children to understand, but it's really hard to teach a story when you don't know exactly what the children have already been told.  there were times when i said one line and joseph would talk for a couple of minutes so im not sure what bits and pieces he added in himself.

done a bit more exploring around the town and think i'm finding my bearings. also went to the big supermarket called shoprite and they literally have everything imaginable - i even found a can of mountain dew!!

keep praying
matty :)
