Hello Sweet Friends -
It is our final week of ministry here in Malawi as interns.
In a desperate attempt to multiply and make the most of every last remaining second we share here, a group of us have woken up every morning this week to watch the sunrise. Each morning it is breathtaking: we are blessed with an amazing view here and the ability to see God's quiet bigness and artistry just overcome us each morning.
We sit. Watch. Breath in. Breath out. And sigh at the wonder of the beginning of a new day to be here in Africa with one another and in the sadness of its inevitable end drawing in too close for comfort.

On behalf of all the interns, we thank each one of your who has prayed for us and with us through this experience we have had the privilege of being a part of here.
I am desperately attempting to grasp at the remaining moments here, but time is relentless and my efforts are like trying to grab sand: panic sets is as we watch time slip through our fingers so quickly.

One thing I think I am anxious about is just my ability to capture these moments and memories here and forever engrave them in my mind, both to replicate for myself and to share with others when I get home. The joy of getting to teach students who are dying for an education - to see them run up the dirt path and grab our hands in order to walk US to school and sing US songs. The way my heart melts every time I see Gordo's chubby little cheeks rise in a huge smile just because I've picked him up and spun him around.
It is difficult to put words to what moves me each day. No picture can capture it. No words are sufficient. And no video is enough.

All we have are these remaining moments, to make the most of, to get to be a part of God's movement here and just pray that we don't get in the way.

While working in the midst of the underprivileged of Malawi, I have learned that it is an utmost privilege to have been chosen by God to be here and be in their presence.

Thank you again for the prayers - we will be home soon!
-Mary
