Mganga wakienyeji - Witch Doctor

 This is the child that was saved. They gave him the blood that he needed.
 
This is the inside of Bibi's house. Just one room. This is it.
 
Yesterday a cobra bit a hen in the farm. They killed the cobra with a stick. They said the cobra was ready to strike the person with the stick.  It was black and about 3 feet long. Also yesterday in the soccer match Br Africanus I think sprained his ankle badly. They wanted to take him to the hospital in Tunduru but the hospital ran out of x-ray film so it was pointless to go. He will be going to Masasi tomorrow which is about 200 Km away. Just to get an x-ray. Today I got to meet a witch doctor here in the local village. I am going to meet with her tomorrow morning. I am very interested in what she has to say about my dreams. It sounds like there is a few witch doctors in the surrounding area. The Fathers and Brothers here think it is funny that I want to meet a witch doctor and ask questions. Actually most of them have been laughing about it. I got a good laugh yesterday. Sunday night there is always the weekend movie. It is a Tanzanian movie. This movie must have been filmed in Dar Es Salaam because the house looked like a house in America . What gave me the laugh is they kept playing the song of chariots of fire for many different scenes. The one scene I got the biggest kick out of was three women in the kitchen and the song is playing. These three women are working hard cooking a nice meal. Then in the end they take a big bit out of the food they made and started celebrating. That scene with chariots of fire playing. I don’t know why but I couldn’t stop laughing.

Well it is time for dinner.

Kula Chakula Jioni.

Why did the turtle cross the road?
