You know you're in Malawi when...


You know you're in Malawi...

When the best rental car's brakes grind against the rotor

When you cram ten people in a Pajero

When kids run all the way up the street yelling Azungu and wave! 

When you've tried every variation of PB&J possible

When random fires on the side of the road don't bother you anymore

When you can't fill up on gas because the power is out 

When all the women here can out-lift the guys on our team 

When a baboon steals your hamburger... Twice 

When you're excited that your car starts 3 days in a row

When the produce stand comes to you  

When dust is an additional food group

When your "milk" has a shelf life of four months

When a fresh loaf of bread costs less than 50 cents 

When a live chicken is in the offering basket 

When you really do wonder why the chicken crossed the road 

When you say a prayer of safety every time you drive over a bridge 

When you signal the blinkers and the windshield wipers turn on

When you cram 30 kids in the bed of a pick up truck, and it's legal 

When you experience pure happiness and joy every time you drive through the gates of the Passion Center
