Day 30
Lilongwe, Malawi

Andrew and I went to one of the largest international churches in Linlongwe, Capital City Baptist Church. Their main service is in English, and it truly was a multiethnic crowd, full with standing room only. The pastor and worship leaders are both Afro-American missionaries. The service wasn’t real long for African standards, about an hour and a half. I enjoyed it, especially the worship, which of course was quite lively.

The weather has been quite cool here lately, and surprisingly cloudy. We went for lunch to a Korean restaurant, and after that it was warm enough to go to the pool at one of the local hotels (same one we went to last Sunday). The kids swam, but the adults still found it too cold to swim.
Sunday evening there was the last evening service at the Chapel for the ABC school year. And this of course was followed by the traditional “waffle night,” this time pancakes and waffles. We had a good time of fellowship.
