Traveling Home…But first some coffee
16th & 17th August 2026 Here was the plan: Mabasa would drop Josh and I off at the Harare airport early enough so that he could get home to Kadoma at a decent hour. Josh and I would get our bags checked in, clear security, find a nice cozy spot and some delicious coffee, and…

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.

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…

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…
