Preaching inside a prision and God providing us with a translator (that was the first and only day we needed one…and we just happened to meet our now friends Rejoice and Stallone…coincidence, I think not!)
Riding in the bed of a truck while it's pouring rain and happily waving to the Malwian people
Squeezing in one of the vendor huts with local school children, random passerbys, and the carvers to have the very first Vendor Church Sunday service
Waiting in line at shoprite to get my loaf of bread. First you have to fight to get it, then shop for 40 minutes until it cools down enough to slice it
Going on a Bible hunt with half of nkhata bay (I'm telling you, people we never even met were coming up to us saying they could get us Bibles)
Watching the youth club lead the song oh lay lay and adding their own moves

Announcing to the youth club that it is swim time and watching the boys rip off all their clothes and dance on the beach naked
Witnessing God provide 257 Bibles for the people of Nkhata Bay
Making an obstacle course for the youth group. They had to finish the course in twos just like the animals from noahs ark
Sitting outside the prison talking and watching the football game with our prisioner friends (<3 michael and gift)
Swimming across a beautiful crystal clear lake in my freetime
Watching and being a part of 50 people accepting Christ into their hearts
Sitting on the side of the road playing the oh so popular game bao with some of my closest friends (James, Alex, and Black Chocolate)
Peeing outside my tent and getting caught by one of the night guards…and consequently peeing on myself
Tickling the feet of little African babies (fun fact: African babies aren't tickilish on their feet because they have so many caluses built up from walking around barefoot).
Doing my laundry in the lake…the waves hitting the beach acted as my rinse cycle
Praying for radical things to happen in and to Nkhata Bay and watching as every prayer got answered
Climbing up the ropes course and running up the slide with some of my disabled friends (wame miss you already)

Tenting for the month and having ants infiltrate literally every crevace of my bag and our food (one day we had a lovely bowl of ant soup)
Learning that when Malawians walk away from you and say the expression I'm coming, it means that they will be back
Using milk powder aka white water in my cereal
Watching the boys in youth club cry during our entire lesson because it was our last day
Enjoying a night of live music with the waves from the lake crashing in the background
Eating a bag of casava chips (they taste like French fries) out of a plastic bag from a street vendor
