Day began with usual regiment of egg filled breakfast. The group began customary wait for Copeland. Attended Sunday service at Mzuzu chruch. Once again greeted by warm welcome. It was a service full of surprises as Bible study is more like scripture reading than actual q and a. Beth's sunday school was a hit with the children and Dennis and Kelsey's preaching was astounding. Gifts of bowls and jars were given to the group. Pictures of sewing student and encouraging framed letters given from us to them. Then the group left service and handed out heart stickers that could only be described as pure and utter chaos. Group then went to supermarket to pick up supplies for cooking demonstration that afternoon. From there we headed to Copelands house, to begin preparing lunch/dinner. The women were outside preparing Malawi dishes for us. Youth (from both US and Malawi) played soccer (football) in the front lawn. Malawi dishes are all "squishy" mostly mashed and boiled. We prepared sandwiches (huge hit although the idea of meat, bread and vegetables together was foreign) mac n cheese, tuna caserole (ask Arlyn!) pasta salad, pancakes (Dennis mother's special recipe) and french toast. The women of Malawi STACKED their plates full and seemed to enjoy everything. I can't say the same for us, but I do believe we left with a true appreciation of home cooked meals and the idea of eating for sustenence. The group returned to hotel for rest. Majority ate dinner at nearby Indian restaurant, which was fantastice even by American standards. After that, devotions, debriefing and much needed sleep.
