Zambia

We have arrived, along with all of our 13 bags!  Yeah!!!  My carryon bag wasn't accepted in London as a carryon, so it was put with all of the other bags.   After 2 nights on airplanes, we arrived in Lusaka at 6am on Thursday July 19.  It was fun to spend the day unpacking everything and settling in. 

 

Benedict and I are still not in the mindset that we will be here for longer than 2-3 weeks.  Then it hits us, we will be here for a longer while.

 

As we settle in, Kimberly, Kamau, and their children are packing all of their things up in the house and moving them to the cottage at the farm.  The cottage is almost done and looks so nice.  This week they have painted the floors, finished some cabinetry, worked on water supply, and brought in another wardrobe.  Their children, Kumani and Maliaka are excited since with the move they plan to get 2 kittens. 

 

At the Village, the watertower is now in place and they are finishing work on putting the pump in the well for pumping water into the tank.  Since the Kamaus need to be out of here by Wednesday when the first mission team arrives, they are working hard to finish the cottage. 

 

This has been a house with 2 children, 3 teenagers, and 4 adults.  Always someone to do something with, beautiful weather for being outside, lots of things going on at the Village to be part of.  And on Friday the action really begins with a team of 10 arriving!
