On Saturday we went to Choma, another town about an hour from the mission. The markets there are bigger than in Kalomo and sell more "chitenges". I bought two that I may or may not wear as a skirt. I'm thinking pillowcases or a bag. I also went ahead and bought a Zambia jersey to add to my collection. They won the Africa cup this year! We had a picnic on the museum lawn, with food from the local grocery store. By the way, Oreos do exist over here, they are just harder to get. I found some in the Spar.
The museum had a crafts area in which you can buy things. I am excited about what I bought, but cannot say because they are gifts for people back home.
When I got home, I slept for 12 hours due to a massive headache, but I am much better now.

Another morning of church...I am learning how services are conducted here, but it is hard to listen when the PA system doesn't work. That doesn't mean that God is any less important, its just not necessary to be loud. I am curious if our idea of being loud has lessened our ability to listen well. That is a religious question and a life question. Something to ponder for you.
In the next few minutes, I will be going to a birthday party for one of our neighbors here. May God's light shine though us as we make new friends!
