" If you love something, take care of it, and it will last"
To love - to take care - to last
A much better version of the acronym "KKK" was referred to at my first church service in Tanzania. It holds true for almost anything- your body, a relationship, or even a car.
I think it's good to keep in mind!
Starting with a long church service and then an afternoon party, my second Sunday here was filled with celebration for my mama's eldest brother's 70th birthday! Being the only mzungu there, I was introduced to so many people and was able to meet a lot of my mama's family! It was super neat being able to see the traditions for big occasions like this. For cutting the cake, her brother cut the first piece and was fed a small piece of cake by his wife. Then, all of their closest relatives had to go up to the front to receive a bite of cake before everyone else. After eating the entire rest of the family was introduced and I was then called to introduce myself in front of everyone in Swahili- I think they enjoyed my broken attempt :)

We now have a tentative schedule set for cooking. Farida, mama, and I meet on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from around 10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. It takes so long to cook most of the dishes we've done so far, especially when we use the traditional coal stove rather than gas, and not to mention buying all the ingredients fresh that day! It's safe to say though... the time is definitely worth it, yum!!!
