Chapatis and Sabbath Prep
August 25th, 2023 Chapati is an Indian flatbread also know by other names like roti.

Harare Bound on the Sabbath
August 12th, 2023 I’ve been to Sabbath services in Harare almost a handful of times now on various trips. The congregation has met in the same place for many years. There have even been baptisms in the past in the pool on the premises of the Russell Hotel. We had to be prepared to leave…

Gold and Water in Kadoma
August 11th, 2023 As usual, Friday was busy. All of us prepared for the Sabbath in different ways. Mabasa headed back to town to take care of a few errands.
