While we were at the Women’s Retreat, Katie and I made many friends. All of the women there were wonderful women who are excited about serving the Lord. I was able to begin a friendship with Esther Kadzuwa (‘kadzuwa’ means sunlight in Chichewa), the daughter of the Free Methodist pastor in Ekwendeni. Esther is 14, and she and her twin brother Steven are the oldest of four. She is in Form 1 (9th grade), so she knows English pretty well. She is hoping to one day become a nurse, but here in Malawi, you must work very hard to go to University. I am praying that she will continue to do well in her studies. Before I left Ekwendeni, we exchanged addresses, and promised to write. I just received a letter from her, and I wrote her back in Chichewa. It’s a really great way to help me learn more Chichewa and learn more about Malawian culture. I praise God for bringing me a new friend!
