Day 5: Africa 2024 (July 6)

Day 5: Africa 2024 (July 6)

Unfortunately, I had another rough night of Friday night, with some nausea, which made it hard to fall asleep. Then the power went out, so I couldn’t have the noise of the fan to help me sleep (I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease about 14 years ago. One of the symptoms is tinnitus — ringing in the ears, for which a fan is extremely helpful). I’ve actually been super impressed with how much the power situation has improved since we lived here. We used to lose power almost daily, and at one point we lost it for six days in a row. This was the first time in four days, so, I’m not really complaining.

Despite having very little sleep, we had a beautiful Sabbath with the Lilongwe and Nkhwazi brethren. Before services began the ladies performed a welcome song for Lewis and me; it was so sweet. Then we had multiple special music pieces in place of the sermonette, before the sermon by Lewis.

And, as an extra special treat, George Chapamba was baptized after services. Then there was a meal, followed by a Q&A Bible study. Early Sunday we head for Blantyre.
