Life on the race has been great but also challenging. It has been hot, I can’t shower everyday, I wake up in puddles of sweat but… it is all worth it.
Week one of ministry was AMAZING! We started teaching this week, did sports ministry, and walked around the town. I am helping teach in a class of 5th and 6th graders. I teach math and English (math is my favorite). We play futbol (soccer) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with the little kids. Then on Tuesday and Thursday we do door to door evangelism. I am having the best time ever here.
We went to church in town today and it was about a 3 mile walk. Yeah you can guess what I was thinking today I just want to get a taxi or mini bus to church but no we walked and it actually wasn’t that bad. It gave me time to take in the sights and sounds and have a little quiet time with the Lord. Church lasted about 3 and a half hours this morning but it was a great service.
I found out during the week that I am actually staying in the same house that Keia stayed in during her time here in Zambia. It was so cool to be able to relate to her in that way.
I could not ask for a better group of people to be here with. They make me smile, laugh, we dance in the rain together, pray with each other, and pray over new friends.
We got to meet 4 amazing new friends that have moved on to their next location or back to their homes. They were the sweetest welcome we could have had to our new home. Rafaella, Julia, Hannah, and Jean Thomas thank you for being amazing people. Thank you for welcoming 10 crazy Americans into the home with you.
Life here is amazing and I would not trade it for anything.
Please just continue keeping my team and I in your prayers. Also please pray for rain and cooler temperatures.
Thank you for taking time out of you busy day to read about life here in Africa!
