Hey Dad,
We just ate lunch with Aubi, he is one of the main guys at the radio station and is from Chiconono. He is pretty influential and wealthy compared to everyone else. We went to ask him a question and he invited us for lunch. We kinda had to eat with him even though we had already eaten. It was awesome, we ate ground up corn that was made into these patties. It was almost like grits that have sat out for like 30 minutes. Then we had this soupy bean mixture and something like cabbage all in the same
bowl. They eat with their hands, and it is kind laughed at if you use a fork. Aubi asked if I wanted one and everyone laughed. It was good though, a good experience and all. We are going to eat with him and his family twice a week.

It's funny the women are the hard workers in this culture. They go out into the field and gather the maize and other crops. A lot of the men can be lazy.

I got Emily Clay's email that was encouraging.

I'll be praying about November. Gabreil and I are planning a road trip. We are going to bungee jump Vic Falls in Zimbabwe and then work our way back down the coast till Capetown. When we leave here we are going to hitch-hike to Maputo (look how far it is on a map, 2800 k's)!!! Then we will probably work our way down across the border to Johannesburg and on to Cape Town. Then when we get to Gabe's car we will head for Vic Falls.

Those verses are encourging, I had to really look deep into the passages which was good. Especially with those ones the other day.

Love you, Mills
