Sabbath in Harare
15th August 2026 We did our best to rest up today since it’s the Sabbath. All three of us slept a little longer. We also didn’t go for a walk to get brunch burgers. Josh and I got some sunshine in the yard. I think Josh’s new favorite thing is to sit on the tailgate…

Chitungwiza: Visits & Inventions
14th August 2026 The night before, even though we had sort of a late night, I had asked Josh if he wanted to get up early and go for a walk. On most of our trip we haven’t had the chance to just get out and walk. And so often we have been sitting and…

Farm Visits, a Near Robbery(?), and a Witch Hunt
13th August 2026 Mike Nyamasoka came in the afternoon later than anticipated. When he arrived we jumped in the pickup and headed toward the northeast corner of Harare.

11th August 2026 Sometimes with all the running around it’s easy to forget to just take a break and relax a little. Tuesday was definitely that day for us. I woke up at a respectable time and even went back to sleep several times. I’ve heard that you can’t really catch up on sleep that…

Houses of Stone, Highways of Rubble
10th August 2026 I received an early morning message from Victor. Part of it read “Dzimbadzimabwe.” This is a Shona phrase that means “houses of stone.” That’s where we were headed. Great Zimbabwe is the remnant of an ancient African civilization, the ancestors of the Shona people. Throughout Southern Africa there are more than 500…

Sunshine and Fruit Trees
9th August 2026 Finally a good night’s sleep. I woke up feeling somehow refreshed and tired at the same time. But I knew my first cup of coffee would be coming soon. Josh and I both decided to take some medicine and fall asleep early rather than stay up and pack. It was the right…

Sabbath in Kwekwe
8th August 2026 Morning came and I was ready for more sleep. Josh and I both have some kind of minor cold. I had it first so it’s definitely my fault that he caught it. There’s also some bug going around the world because we’ve heard of a couple others in Zim who also have…
