Pizza and Thunder but no Hippos!

Tonight, all the muzungus (white folks) went out for pizza at a restaurant along Lake Tanganyika. Our regular Hope Africa U group was augmented by the Miller family, 2 young doctors and their 4 children, who have just moved to Burundi. After orientation at Kibuye (upcountry) hospital and in Kenya, they expect to serve at the clinic being built across the street from HAU and live in the house where we are now staying. Our hat's off to them and their willing commitment to move their young family half way round the world to serve in Burundi!
We enjoyed the pizza (ours was Hawaiian!) but the hippos who we were told sometimes come out of the lake along that shore did not materialize or at least we didn't see them. And the pizza was interrupted by thunder, lightning and rain, which is becoming almost a daily feature.
By the way, I was asked this question today by a Rwandan student: If a pastor is called to a house where someone has died in a thunder storm (thought to be some kind of curse) should he take traditional medicine to protect him from danger? We went round and round on that one for quite a while especially since the Rwandan speaks very little English and interaction with her was through French and translation.
Mary Ann's class discussed Kohlberg's stages of moral development and other ethical issues. They also learned a Swahili song which my students think she should teach them also.
Tomorrow, Mary Ann and I both teach for all or part of the morning. I will then help with a choir rehearsal, accompanying Ave Verum Corpus on a keyboard. Sometime I need to finish getting ready to preach at two services on Sunday.
