On Sunday, I spent the whole day with David Mhango and his
wife Naomi and daughters Ellen and Susan and it was a real joy. Sadly, John was only able to join us
for about an hour during the 6 or so hours there were at our hotel, and we had
to change our plans from seeing a museum and attending a football game to just
sitting and visiting, which was fine. So John ended up missing out on almost
all the time with David and his family, which is very sad since it has been so
long since we have seen them.
Here are David, Naomi and the children in their Sunday best
clothes sitting by the pool at our lodge – they had never seen a pool before.
John has been having some digestive problems while we are
here, and I feel very blessed that I have not. He about 3 or 4
days that he has been ill enough that all he wanted to do was rest while we
have been here. Fortunately, I
have not had similar problems except for a couple of very brief episodes that
were very manageable. It is
never fun feeling ill when you are so far from home.
Fortunately, John felt a lot better on Monday and David came
to have lunch with us, and will come again this morning to see us off to the
airport in a few hours., the beginning of about 25 hours of travel time to get
back home. I’m not looking forward
to the journey, and am very sad to leave everyone here, but am ready to be back
home again in familiar surroundings, with Jack our cat, and not living out of a
suitcase!
