Today we got a surprise visit from Kita (he is the one who
traveled with us from Mbeya to Kafule when we first got here). His students are taking practice exams now so
he has a few days off from school and he decided to come and check up on
us. It was so great to see him! He is so
encouraging and so helpful, making sure we have everything that we need and
that we are enjoying ourselves. And he
brought us food from Mbeya! Potatoes,
carrots, bread and watermelon! Dahlia nad
I just stood in our pantry area after he left and could not get over all of the
food choices we have! Tonight we made cabbage, potatoes, and carrots for dinner. We definitely eat a lot of the same food here
but I am actually really enjoying it!
Kita was asking how we cook here. We told him that we have been using charcoal
and most of the time have been successful.
He laughed and told us that most of the villagers here use firewood,
charcoal is considered “high class”. What
a reality check! The life I am living here is high class. I feel like each day there is something that
reminds me just how blessed I really am!
