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…

Spokesman’s Club in Lilongwe
1st February 2026 … 7:30am … Coffee and breakfast complete, backpacks in tow, passengers in their seats. The men were headed to Lilongwe for the day. 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…

Sabbath Videos
31st January 2026 I definitely meant to add some videos of the music from Sabbath services. These are short but just long enough to give a taste of the beauty music from God’s people in praise to Him. -Lewis VanAusdle

Breakfast with Biscuit Before Visits in Lilongwe
28th January 2026 … 5:00am … Time for a quick nap to hopefully recoup some of the sleep I didn’t get because, as usual while traveling, I was awake in the middle of the night. That’s ok. Waking up early gave me a chance to send emails and finish writing. I slept soundly for most…

Pit Stops & Final Stops
27th January 2026 … 7:00am … Depending on the terminal I end up transferring through, I’ve made it a habit to stop by Kaldi’s Coffee in Addis Ababa. The espresso drinks are pretty tasty and it turns out their chicken pesto shawarma isn’t bad either. I’ve probably mentioned it before but Ethiopia feels partly Middle…

Marmite & Reading Glasses
26th January 2026 Two cups of coffee in and I’m almost ready to really start my day. My first task, after breakfast, will be to find an extra suitcase just in case I run out of space. It’s a close call but I’m sure it will all work out just fine. Partially because I brought…
