Trip to Malawi
This Christmas we celebrated with my Aunt and Uncle in Lilongwe, Malawi. My parents (Stan and Donna Armes) and our family took the 10hr drive there last Monday. It was a beautiful and uneventful drive there. We’ve never driven due east from Lusaka and we really enjoyed the mountains and crossing the Luangwa river. While there we were able to relax, take plenty of naps, eat plenty of food, play games and simply enjoy the company of family.
I’ll share an anecdotal African Christmas story with you that my Uncle David shared with us. You know the song, “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”. You and I (and most likely any other American) will know that a “White Christmas” is referring to snow on the ground, covering the trees etc. However, to someone who has never seen or heard of snow…the connotation can be quite different. One such man after hearing this song concluded that a “White Christmas” was when many “white people” get together to celebrate Christmas.
It was a joy to spend time with my Aunt and Uncle who both grew up in Africa and have spent 23 years in missions in Africa (Rwanda, Mozambique, Malawi). We just gobbled up our time with them and their many stories of God’s provision.
