Day 13 Mweya

8/6/07 Monday
We had to get up at 5:30am and left promptly at 6:30am to go up country to Mweya. We arrived around 9am. The other woman started the morning session of our 3rd retreat. I went with Wayne to secure our rooms and drop off our bags at the monastery. Then we did some shopping so that we could do our cooking session that afternoon. We had to take an African with us so that he could stay with the van to make sure nothing happened.
At 12:30pm we arrived back at the women’s meeting where they were acting out bible stories. Afterwards we started the cooking lesson which involved making dough.
We had a late lunch—chicken, rice, peas, boiled bananas, pineapple, and baby bananas. After lunch we reconvened and rolled the dough using empty pop bottles, then fried it and dipped it in sugar. It was very good, too sweet for some of the Africans but most of them enjoyed it.
At 4pm we finished and went back to the monastery to use the bathroom as they only had outhouses at this location. Then we went to an internet café.
