Teaching in Chichewa






Katie, Ryan and I have Chichewa lessons every weekday afternoon for an hour. Our Chichewa teacher, Abambo Banda, is the principal at a small private Christian school across the street from our campus. In order to challenge us, our teacher invited Katie and I to come to his school to tell Bible stories to the children. So Katie and I translated Davide ndi Goliati (David and Goliath) and Yoswa ku Yeriko (Joshua at Jericho) into Chichewa. On Friday we went to the school and told our stories. We discovered that we still have a lot to learn, but we have made a lot of progress since we came to Malawi. Keep praying for all three of us as we continue to work hard in our language learning. Tikuphunzira Chichewa pang’ono pang’ono. (We are learning Chichewa little by little.)
