<\/dt>\n- At the Chiona’s for dinner<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
Around 6:30pm, we went to the Martin and Mary Chiona’s for dinner with their family.\u00a0 We were joined by Martin’s brother Winfred and their children, Earnest and Mercy.\u00a0 We went over about an hour before dinner and just talked with them.\u00a0 It turns out the Chiona’s lived in Florida for a few years back in the early 90’s while Mr. Chiona got his masters degree.<\/p>\n
Dinner began with a prayer.\u00a0 Then, Mr. Chiona brought out a pitcher full of a water, a bar of soap, and a bowl.\u00a0 We each took turns washing our hands while Mr. Chiona poured the water over our them.\u00a0 Mrs. Chiona prepared the dishes for us which included sheema, cavasa leaves, beans, some kind of potato root meatloaf, and macaroni with ground beef.\u00a0 The food was excellent!\u00a0 I had two plate-fulls of it.\u00a0 For dessert, we had no back cookies (which Ruth made) and lemon cake.\u00a0 These also were delicious! After we finished eating, we watch some British TV and talked some more.\u00a0 We went home around 9:15pm.<\/p>\n
We relaxed the rest of the evening.<\/p>\n
