Where is Malawi?

So where in Africa is Malawi? In the south east quadrant just west of Lake Nyasa. For some basic information check out the Malawi page on Wikipedia here.

Presbyterians have a long history in Malawi dating back to famous medical missionary David Livingstone's arrival in 1859. There are now more Presbyterians in Malawi than in the United States.

Just as a note of interest the time on these blogs will always be Malawi Time (+2 GMT). Malawi is 6 hours ahead of those of us in EST (-4 GMT).

Learning to Blog

Okay, so this isn't really Stephen, this is Charlie. I'm teaching Stephen and Liz how to blog so that those of us back home can keep up with their life in Africa. The Heinzel-Nelsons will be updating this blog with thoughts and stories from their year in Malawi. They'll be posting pictures (and depending on how much I can teach them, even VIDEO) of their life in Africa.

Be sure to check back or subscribe to this blog for updates and stories even as they are preparing to embark on this journey.
