A Day of Peace and Some Blogging

Sunday: A day of ease (and blogging...) Leila and I jumped on bikes and headed for Ganizany's church. We had to bike around two kilometers to get there.

Here is Ganizany's church. I think it is a bit bigger then Heston's church, but I'm not sure.

Leila told me that Ganizany's church was Western based, and they thought that in Western Churches the women sit on the ground. So here is the photo of the women on the ground and the men in the chairs.

Being western based, the music sounded a bit more western than Malawian, so that was good. Lol. I quite enjoyed it.

Luckily, half way through the three hour service, Leila decided to join the men by sitting in a chair. Don't worry - it was on the women's side of the room still.

At the end of the service, Ganizany prayed - well, everyone prayed Lol for a crippled man. Everyone was praying in the room. Everyone - no watchers. Ganizany and his translator helped the man stand up. Although he wasn't able to walk, he could move his legs when he was in his wheelchair. Before he hadn't been able to. It was a really neat experience. 

At two that afternoon, I went over to Gifti's to say hi and chat for a bit. Maybe get a bit of sugar cane. Keiran and I biked over there to find only Uncle Kelvin, so we sat down and chatted about work, crops, money, and sugar cane for awhile, before we went over to the Landlord's house for some sugar cane. To get this photo of all of us, I had to make Leila's bike stand up straight, and then I balanced it on the wheel. Then I turned on the timer, ran back to the bench, chatted, and SNAP! And it came out looking pretty straight surprisingly - with having balanced it on the bike wheel. It might not look like it, but the tree is naturally bent sideways. The things I do for you guys. (And we so appreciate it Austin. xx Mum)

I bought three small pieces of sugar cane for one hundred kwatcha. The guy wouldn't take the money, so I had to put it down his shirt before he would accept it. Lol. Don't worry, he laughed. K and I left shortly after that.

Bringing home the sugar cane! Lol.

At six, I had my dinner and then I Skyped my Mum. We talked for one hour, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-five seconds. Not two hours, Leila. Lol. It was a good talk. We talked about everything from needing more money to Chameleons. It was pretty nice to get to talk to them. I told them that I was taking a photo to put up on my blog, and look: The little posers.

Little Posers.

So, that evening ended on a peaceful note of turning off the skype, lol just kidding, and blogging.
