Weekend in Malawi

Saturday we had a day of counting pills and getting ready for next week. It takes a lot to organize for the prison and / or village clinics. Fortunately I have an organization guru, Joey, with me and a pair of very willing hands in Luke. Saturday evening we went to dinner with Jim and Dr. Diane Young. It was a great meal and even better fellowship.


Sunday off to church at Flood, where Edith Kansilanga preached on Jonah and Nineveh.... Luke and I found that very interesting since we were both recently in Iraq near Nineveh.

After lunch, we went to visit Garden's Gate, Michelle Clark's project. She is currently stateside so I had said I would check on the girls. Fineness was out to lunch with Roberta Nagel,  but we found Aweema, Joyce and Doris all home and well. We talked them out of some ripe grapefruit and lemons, and also one of the guards climbed up to get us a ripe papaya. We ate it at dinner and it was yummy!

We then drove to Charles's house to discuss some business and hold little Tadala. Joey learned how to make samoosas and Erlita gave us  a big dish ready to fry.  Be still my beating heart!

A wonderful and relaxing Sunday, spent with precious friends. Enjoy the photos.

 Happy, myself, Luke and Charles

 Tadala, wide awake and wondering about this stranger holding her!

 Worker climbing up a very tall tree to get the papaya.

 He knocked the papaya out of the tree and broke it's fall to earth with his head. Note his ball cap on the ground. It was still yummy!
