It is good to see that you too are blogging. Thanks and do more.
Wow! Good to see you as a blogger. One bit that has caught me by surprise is that you are an ordained pastor.Keep on blogging.It is difficult to survive in the blogosphere because there are so many blogs but if you keep working hard, you will become a successful blogger.
It's a better day Eunice
Dad's mentioned your name on several occassions, but have never had the opportunity to speak with you I trust that everything's going well with the work in Malawi as it is here in New Zealand.

Its good to hear about you. Being a practising journalist too, you have been an inspiration.
But I would like you, besides serving the Lord to resurface again in the journalism industry. I beleive you have what it takes to establish your own newspaper or radio station so that you can spread God's word as well as speak for the underpreviledged, voiceless malawians. Be blessed.
