This morning we had breakfast early and walked to church with Anna. It's a Presbyterian church and we went to the English service. I really enjoyed it! We had hymn books so we could sing along with the congregation and we also took communion with them. I'm not quite sure what their "wine" was, but it tasted like cough syrup. The singing was great - I absolutely love African choirs. I could have listened to them all day long. :) We had to get up in front of the congregation and introduce ourselves (with microphones.) I can't wait to just blend in again. After church, we came back to MMM for a delicious lunch of chicken and chips prepared by the talented Peter.

After lunch, Jenna, Annie, and Gerda went to the crisis nursery, Mike went to lunch with a friend here in Mzuzu, and the rest of us (Danielle, Jayme, and I) went shopping with Anna. We went to the Mzuzu "Goodwill." It's a second-hand clothing market set up just like the other markets (vegetable, chitenje, etc.) Each seller has their own little stall and they each specialize in their own type of second-hand clothes. We didn't buy anything, but it was fun anyway. On our way out of the market, we stopped by the Mzuzu vegetable market. One of the sellers had stacks of clay bowls behind his avocados. They were really cool - rustic and "handmade" looking. We asked how much the bowls were, and the guy said, "150." 150 kwacha is less than a dollar! Each of us bought one. :) I love it! After we got done shopping and dropping our stuff off at the house, we went to Anna's cousin's house and had tea. Malawians are so hospitable!
We had the Hellers and Augustine over for dinner this evening, but the game just came on, so I'm going to go now.
(Added at 11PM) - Spain won! The World Cup is over. The next time it comes on, I'll be in medical school!
