This morning I woke up bright and early, had a good breakfast, read some, and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom—I did not know the sink was white until today! Ya, it was that dirty, but now it sparkles!
We hopped on the bus and went out to the Zambian office and saw some of the kids in the LifeWay school! I got to meet Christopher, a little boy who my mom absolutely fell in love with when she was here, and I see why. He is so precious! Next we went to a little market place made up of several huts and people selling all sorts of things. The people here are so nice, I never once felt unsafe!
Then it was time to eat—Nshema!!!!!!! This is a Zambian staple food and it is so good! Typically you eat it with cabbage and some sort of meat—I had chicken J It is a very messy food to eat. But it is one food that your mom cannot get mad at you for playing with. Playing with nshema is a requirement. You take some in your hand and roll it into a ball, then dip it in the sauce and cabbage and pop a piece of meat in your mouth. My tummy thanks me whenever I get a good meal of nshema! (The picture above is what I had for lunch. Nshema is the white stuff. I think it is made from Maize)
Next we went to visit a few CRCs (community resource centers). Family Legacy has 21 of them planted in different communities around Lusaka. They serve as places for children to come if they are in trouble, danger, or just want a safe place to play. We played with some of the kids in the communities which was so much fun! They are so curious and laugh at us whenever we try to speak chinyanja. I was impressed today because most of the kids we talked to could speak English really well.
