TLU

Texas Lutheran University is my home away from home. Being an international student i was worried about being far away from home and not fitting in but this was not the case. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Its a really great school where you not only know everyone but they also know you-by name. With the small class sizes you are able to interact with your professors and other students which is a great way to help understand those extra hard concepts. It is a faith based community which has become like my big family. I love it here and i am sure you would too, so if you are not already a student here, check us out, i guarantee you'll like what you see.

 

SEGUIN

Seguin is strategically located in South Central Texas on Interstate Highway 10.
San Antonio, the tenth largest city in the United States, is thirty minutes west of Seguin via IH-10.
Austin, the state capital, is conveniently accessible 50 miles to the north by State Highway 123 and Interstate Highway 35. The ports of Houston and Corpus Christi are nearly equal distance from Seguin.

FOOD

Sadza or Mielie Pap with chicken, African Food The staple food in my country is sadza served with a variety of different relishes but my favorite was always with t-bone steak and green vegetables cooked in peanut butter. In the picture the sadza is served with chicken. Sadza has many names throughout Africa, the shona name for Zimbabwe's staple food is Sadza, the Ndebele word for it is isitshwala, in South Africa it is known as Mielie Pap, in Zambia they call it Nshima, in Eastern Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) the name for sadza is Ugali and in Malawai it is called Sima. Along with all the different names for it, there are also many variations on how to cook it and what is the best way to eat it. For a recipe contact me at lnndimande@tlu.edu
Chicken and Dumplings  

My favorite meal of all time is my mum's chicken and dumplings. I have tried the American style but it does not compare to my mum's and unless you get a chance to come home with me you will have to take my word on how absolutely amazing it is. It does not even look the same and quite frankly i prefer the consistency of my mum's dumplings.

My favorite dessert would have to be milk tarts from Haefellis (a coffee shop in Bulawayo). They are usually not as big as the one pictured but come little and scone-sized with cinnamon sprinkled on top and should always be served with a hot beverage to get the best taste.

FAITH

 

The church that i belong to is the African Methodist Episcopal Church,

      

more commonly known as A.M.E. My mum was raised by this church

and she has continued to do the same with her children. It was first

started by African slaves in the United States. The church was born in

protest against slavery - against dehumanization of African people,

 brought to the American continent as labor.It rejected the negative

 theological interpretations which rendered persons of African descent

second class citizens. Theirs was a theological declaration that God is

God all the time and for every body.

MUSIC

I like to think that i am cultured and i  listen to all types of music but the truth is that i love hip hop and R & B. I could listen to that all day. These are some of my favorite artists.
My favorite song of the moment is Chris Brown's -with you but like most people it will soon change to something else.
I like to listen to music when im doing homework, or when im just hanging out. It has very calming effect on me when im upset and is also great for those party nights.
Sometimes i find it hard to convey my feelings and i think music is a great way to tell people how im feeling but sometimes it is not that easy to find the right song.
