Day 2 in Malawi

So far so good. The only thing that has gone terribly wrong is the lock on the bathroom door. I am sure many of you have heard from Ogles, and it is true, I was locked in the bathroom. Not for long, but long enough to know not to lock the bathroom door any more. Good times. The container has not arrived yet, but there is rumor that it will be here Monday or Tuesday. That would be wonderful. It may also be terribly overwhelming, but we'll deal with that when it gets here.
It was wonderful to sleep in a real bed last night! Even if the mosquito net is a bit strange. With a little imagination everything was fine. (also be sure to read Allison's blog allisoninmalawi.blogspot.com) We didn't wake up until about 8:30 this morning which was amazing! We woke up just in time to head to the market with Becca and Carson. They were wonderful considering the three of us had no clue what was happening.
The market was fun, everyone wants to sell you things and help you carry your things... it was a little overwhelming but fun non the less. I am pretty sure we made it out with everything we needed without getting suckered too badly. Then we went to a little shop where we picked up most everything else we needed. It was a little overwhelming as well, but I think we'll figure it out quickly. Like I said Becca and Carson were helpful as we attempted to figure things out.
After a lovely time shopping we came home and cleaned our kitchen... kinda. We're still working on that. We finished unpacking things... mostly. We still have a bit to do. Really we're just hanging out and taking it all in. Everything is wonderful. There are always people around, and you can hear them talking or walking along. No one seems stressed out or worried. Just taking their time and enjoying life. Its wonderful, everywhere should be like this.
We had a visit today from some of the older girls on campus today, they were also able to provide us with some helpful information from a different perspective.
Tonight we had dinner with the amazing Kyser family! I love them all they're wonderful. Even though they have only been here for about six weeks they provide wonderful information. The feelings of being the new kid on the block are still fresh and they are still trying to figure things out so its nice to have someone to do that with. We enjoyed a lovely dinner during our first experience with no power. Luckily it was at the Kyser's house and they were prepared. I think we have three candles in our house at the moment... that could have been fun...
Tomorrow we'll head to the church here on campus which I'm sure will hold many adventures. We are getting settled in nicely and I hope we'll be able to adjust to everything else just as well.
