I have been trying to Iearn some of the Makwa language this morning. It's not as easy as Portuguese or Shangana, to me. Trying to communicate is hard. :) I have learned...
Mbakamelo = see you tomorrow
Zyhale = how are you?
Moxelelia = good day
Moxkamolo = greeting for an elder out of respect
The x says the sh sound. :) admit it, did you try to pronounce the words yourself? Our breakfast consisted of bread and plantains. Their bread is good here!!! Oh, by the way, we made the best bread last night! Lynne found the recipe on masterchef Australia. I'll share it with you!
7 c. Flour
1 T. Salt
1 T. Yeast
950 ml warm water
Mix the yeast with the warm water and stir in with the rest in a large bowl. Place in the refrigerator for most of the day. It will rise a LOT! No needing required...that's right! No needing! Take out of the bowl and shape gently into a few loafs or put in a few pans. Try not to touch the bread much. The hole make it work right. Bake 350 degrees for 45-60 min. Mmmmmmm.
We are cooking this morning then will head out to visit with some of the local women to check in with them. One has a child who is sick so we will see how they are doing. Lee went with Rodger and the boys to a local town (1.5 hour drive) to buy plumbing supplies for the work that they will be doing.
