July 20, 2018

The tedium-induced fatigue created by 23 hours of actual flight time spread over two days disappeared in an instant when I turned the corner to exit Blantyre International Airport and caught a glimpse of my "welcoming" party. Daughters from two dioceses in Malawi greeted me with song.

Moni, moni a Suzen

Takondwera kuti mwabwera

Ife takondwera kuti mwabwera

Takondwera kuti mwabwera.

Greetings, greetings, Susan

We are happy that you have come

We are really very happy that you have come

We are happy that you have come.

I, too, am happy - no, joyful!
