"We've known the joy of meeting; now we know the sorrow of departure." -local Malawi pastor It was with a sense of finality we gathered yesterday. All week long we visited the contacts who have been so open and welcoming, with an open invitation to our "celebration" on Saturday. We didn't know how many to prepare for, so we guessed 20, and bought food for 30. Little did we foresee some 70 friends dropping by, sharing their food with each other.
