it's funny how God can surprise you time and again. we happened to be cooking dinner and struck up a conversation with another gentleman who was also preparing his meal in the common kitchen. his name is james and he's studying medical and hygiene studies in london until this september.
the cool thing is he comes from malawi. not only that, but his hometown is zomba, the town we were based in while we were there. in fact, he even knows the joneses and emmanuel international and lives close by. we talked about nsima and chambo and all the great stuff about malawi. it was a great time, just cooking and sharing. and it was a surprise blessing from God on an otherwise rainy day (only the second one since we've been here!).
we're in the college for another two weeks or so and will hopefully see james around again before we leave. we're not sure where God wants this to go, or what our role in it will be, but we're sure it'll be good.
we're still wide-eyed at the new sights and sounds of a different place, seemingly a great distance away from home. but the lesson for today is that when you're walking with a big God, this world of ours gets smaller and smaller.
