Travel
9th February 2026 I was up early for a cup of coffee and hopefully to see some of the nieces and nephews before they left for school. I would be gone by the time they returned home. Before breakfast Dan asked me if I wanted to stretch my legs. I agreed and we hiked through…

Sunday Drive to Eastern Malawi?
8th February 2026 I never considered that Malawi would have Eastern and Western regions. After all, it’s such a narrow country. But considering that it takes time to travel from east to west (such as from Salima to Lilongwe) it makes sense. Here’s a map of the region to give you an idea of Malawi’s…

Sabbath Rest In Motion
7th February 2026 … 7:15am … This morning I heard reports that it has been raining in Salima since 3am. That area really needs the rain. There are penalty of places around Blantyre that also need some rain. But at least it was dry in time for the brethren to make their way to Sabbath…

Return to Dowa
3rd February 2026 Before heading to Dowa, Cephas and I made our way to Lilongwe, stopping at City Mall after fighting some of the queues. I was the driver for today … all day this time. We make a brief stop to find some coffee. My supply was running low and I was sure I…

It’s Hot in Salima
2nd February 2026 … 8:00am … We departed for Lilongwe to pick up Ruth at Zebra Market in Area 49. This being a work day we encountered some moderate traffic especially going through the city. Zebra is usually quite busy with people coming and going constantly, especially during the morning commute. Ruth was there at…

Cephas, George, Mr. Phiri, and I climbed in the car and headed for the highway, stopping briefly so we could get another two liters of petrol which we hoped…
