Zambia//Day 12

June 17th (Sunday)

           Today was also a relaxing day. Fiona wanted to go up and watch an abscess be drained for a pregnant woman. Dr. Lipsey was going to do it early in the morning before the meeting at 9am. I also got a bit more sleep than usual – I’m getting used to the roosters (besides they crow all day long it seems). When Fiona came back we were finishing our breakfast (which is banana bread that we made the morning before, so good!)

I think we are getting better at singing in Lunda and Luvale, but extremely long words do pose a challenge at times. Today the ministry was given by visitor from Unionville Gospel hall, it was nice to have it in English, but watching the translator was pretty funny. Sometimes he would speak much longer than a simple translation. Ha ha, Dorothy said “he’s preaching a whole sermon in between!”

When we came back to the house we began to make lunch: chilli and homemade naan bread. It was so delicious! I’m impressed with our cooking every time and happy that we can make good meals for ourselves. We think we should have Dorothy over to show her we can do better than PB&J sandwiches.

We also went to the Sunday school at the colony, which was nice; the little boys have so much energy! The rest of our evening was spent reading, relaxing, and playing games. And we can’t forget listening to my Spotify playlists.//
