Fascinated by the Women Carrying Loads on Their Heads

George is fascinated by the women carrying loads (sometimes very heavy or very large) on their heads.

Notice that the man isn't carrying anything!  His is also where a T-shirt supporting a political party.  In May, Malawi will have their elections.  The women usually have skirts that advertise their political preference.

 

While exploring the neighborhood where we live we came upon these two women. When they saw George taking their pictur they posed. Lynda decided to get in on the picture.

They make it look so easy.We probably couldn't carry the bundle of firewood in our arms, let alone on our heads. 

This is Pastor Joyce. She is a District Licensed Pastor in the Church of the Nazarene. She and her husband Goeffry live in a small house behind  David and Marquita's mission home. They help maintain the beautiful yard.

Goeffrey is also a District Licensed Pastor.  They hope to pastor a church in the near future.  Currently the district superintendent is using them for pulpit supply.  They are both graduates of Nazarene Theological College, where we are teaching.  Joyce is carrying corn, that Goeffrey has grown on the property, to the mill to be ground into meal.  The corn here is white with very hard kernels.
