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…

Side Quests Without Nsima
4th February 2026 Today was perhaps my only day in Malawi without consuming nsima, at least in this trip. Nsima is the longstanding staple food of Malawi. I’ve heard some Malawians say that a meal isn’t a meal unless there is nsima. That would exclude breakfast. But as the variety of foods available in the…

Tea Time Meetings in London
25th January 2026 My mom said they are experiencing London weather there in the southeast corner of Tennessee. In fact the weather today in both places looks to be almost identical: highs in the 40’s (Fahrenheit), mostly cloudy with some rain. The only difference is the traffic. And possibly the availability of some good English…

A Quick Dash to Blantyre
7th – 8th July 2024 4am came very quickly. And for some reason so did the turn off the M1 highway towards the airport entrance. Cephas and George got us there safely and in plenty of time. I’ll admit, we were a little too early, but better that than being too late. After putting our…

Guitar Shops in Blantyre
August 24th, 2023 Nearly out of the instant coffee we brought from the US, and not quite willing to spend money on the ridiculously expensive instant coffee in the grocery stores (or to settle for the cheaper version mixed with chicory), Nick and I opted for some locally-grown coffee. When it comes to coffee, fresher…

Water, Fields, and Battlefields
Day 6 – 19th January 2023 The day’s task was to visit one of the church members who lives not far outside of Kadoma. Douglas Kachilima lives on his family’s plot of land in an area called Battlefields. The name comes from the history of naming local mining claims after famous battles. More than 40…
