Palm Sunday at the Ufulu Church of the Nazarene

 

Ufulu Church of the Nazarene

On Palm Sunday we attended the Ufulu Church of the Nazarene. The District Superintendent is the Pastor.
There were only about 20 people in attendance. The sermon was preached in English and translated into the local language, Chichewa.

Public Transportation in Lilongwe, Malawi

They pack so many in it is surprising that no one falls off!

One can ride in these privately owned vans for about $0.50 each way if you don't mind being packed in like sardines.

We visited a war monument to those who have died for their country.

Lynda insisted on getting her picture taken with the tour guide at the monument

We converted $300 US and got 123,000 Malawi Kwachas. The bank gave us all 500 Kwachas bill. It is weird counting out money at the store.We struggle dividing 518 Kwaches by 410 to find out how much a Diet Coke costs ($1.26 US)

Lynda teaching formative and summative assessments as part of the stats course.

Lynda wasn't sure if she could teach adults but she is doing a great job. The students really appreciate her.

We only have six students. They will all be graduating in May.

This is the what we see each day on the way from the missionaries home to the school. This man has a sack that must weigh hundreds of pounds. George took this picture out the passenger's side window (on the left side of the vehicle).
We have seen people carry tremendous loads on their shoulders or balanced on their heads. George says it makes his arthritic neck hurt every time he sees it.

Home of our missionary hosts.

David and Marquita are our hosts. We are staying in their lovely home.  We have our own bathroom with hot water!
