A smile is a smile in every language. Hope and hopelessness can be seen on the faces of people all over the world. No matter what language a person speaks, joy can be conveyed - as well as sorrow, love - as well as hate. As we make our way to Zambia we will have flight layovers in other countries -possibly South Africa or France, Germany or Spain, England or Egypt and although we might not be able to speak the language we can still show the love of Christ to all we come in contact with. English is the national language of Zambia, however, we have been told that many people in the rural area were we will be working speak Nyanja. Here are a couple of phrases to learn along with us. Mauka bwanji -- Good morning - (sounds like mocha)
Zikomo kwambili -- Thank you very much
Zina langa ndine _____ -- My name is (fill in the blank)
And remember... A smile is a smile in every language.
