This woman asked Kathryn to take her little sister home as their parents had died and she wanted her sister to have a better life with the Mzungo. touching the Mzungo... and the heart of the Mzungo... was so touched by their love. Kathryn asked the Lord to bless the food - she receives and eats what is set before her.  This is the meal that was offered to share between Josh, Julie and Kathryn.  When Kathryn came back to the cottage with her 'pet' chicken, the house girl, Christine, said they must kill it and have it for dinner. Kathryn was then informed that *she* would have to be the one to kill the chicken.  So... armed with a dull kitchen knife, Kathryn killed the chicken with the help of Christine and they ate the chicken for dinner.  "Was it good?" mama asked Kathryn, "No," Kathryn replied,  "But it was a blessing because it was such an incredible gift of love..."
