Three continents at dinner

 

I think I have commented in other blogs about the number of nations represented at different gatherings.  Yesterday we went to Lusaka with other members of the Chisamba Community Church to lead the service for the sister congregation.   Afterwards we had been invited to lunch with friends from the church.  As we sat around the table, under a huge shade tree (we were told that that kind of tree comes from South America) I was once again struck by all the countries represented and English accents I was hearing.  There were folks from Holland, Germany, USA, Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – 3 continents - and only 12 adults. 

 

It was so interesting when 2 of the folks from Zimbabwe told a couple of jokes.  Nobody got them because they were a play on words, and the expressions were not used by any of the rest of us.
