Many student groups in the past have established the tradition of Sunday family-style dinners and this Sunday afternoon, my roommate Sam and I kicked off the tradition. The day was cold and rainy so we made some lamb stew (lamb is cheep in SA) and some fresh bread. We were in the kitchen for most of the afternoon experimenting with spices, listening to music, and wondering at the mysteries of yeast. We served the bread warm and, in the Georgian tradition, some plates of cheese. We all ate, warmed up, and got sleep for our first day of school.
Thanks for your interest and prayers. Keep growing closer to your maker and savior!

Hey Terry, this is your crime-fighting partner. I had waffles on Sunday. And I got a bivy sack. If they have sweet potatoes in SA, remember to use that dish as a trump card if you ever get into a cook-off.

T-Bump. I’ve been reading your blog and keeping up with your life as possible. I’m so excited about the things you’ve experienced only in the first weeks of your time in SA. You are seeing a beautiful landscape of earth and human beings. Keep your heart open and your mind sharp.
