Ok, wow.  I've never done a blog before, so here goes.  So many people have asked

me about the Malawi mission, that I've decided to embrace technology (with the help of my awesome techie husband, Jimmy Verner) and try this blog thing.  Who came up with the word blog anyway?

We have a team of four departing tomorrow on the final medical mission of this season.

A little history...

Many of you who know me well, know that I hit one of life's walls almost exactly a year ago.  As part of my reassessing my situation, I had the opportunity to join the inaugural medical trip to the mission run by the St. Paul missionaries in Bowe, Malawi.  ORANT charities is a small NGO (non-governmental organization) that does work in Malawi as well as Cambodia, Mozambique and Guatemala.  They had a trip planned that they were going to have to cancel because one of the doctors had to have surgery somewhat urgently.  Because I was just standing there staring at the wall I had run into, I signed on, dragged my adorable niece along on the adventure and we did good things, I believe.

As soon as I figure out how, I will post a link to photos from last year's journey.

More soon.
