June 23 - In Lilongwe

Well, by the grace of God, I made it! My luggage got lost, but that's not so bad. I was already mentally prepared to lose it anyway (thanks for the heads up, Marley!), so I didn't worry too much. I knew I had packed essential and/or valuable items in my carry-on, so it didn't bother me too much.  Finnick, one of the Ministry of Hope staff, is going to go back to the airport tomorrow to see if it has come in.  Jenna, another MOH volunteer with whom I'm rooming at the Teethsavers house, lost her luggage too, so we're in the same boat.

Can I just say I love this place already?  The country side is beautiful, the weather is perfect, the house is comfortable, and so far I have really clicked with everyone I've met. Tomorrow morning we're going to the medical clinic, so I'm going to tuck in my mosquito net and get some much needed sleep!
