The gentleman who keeps the house while we are here is Bambo Whiskas. He is a lovely man that we first met in 2007. He has worked for the Assembly of God for 40 years, and is about 70 years old now. He is unsure of his date of birth. He is a gem: hard working and always happy. His son also works for the Assembly of God here in Malawi. We started with our first visit to invite Bambo Whiskas and his wife to dinner. They were so sweet the first time - he said it almost like 'being in America'. We try to find American style dishes that we can make and that we think they will like. On our subsequent visits not only have we had them to dinner, but we also have brought them something from the states. Last night we had them over for their second dinner of this visit - we served minute steaks simmered with onions and green peppers, a sweet potato 'pie', beans and garlic bread (we know that they like the garlic bread from previous dinners). Then we gave them their gifts - a blouse, some toiletries and some jewelry for Amai Whiskas and a very nice jacket with a hood for Bambo Whiskas. They seemed to enjoy it. Here are some pictures of this charming couple, including a great picture of Bambo in his new jacket!
