It's a Small World
 
I am back in the states for a few weeks for the birth of a grandchild to our son, and wedding plans for our daughter.  While in Missouri, I helped with the Sunday School class at Wyatt Park Christian Church in St. Joseph.  We passed out pictures of the 15 children at our village.  Then the members of the Sunday School class drew pictures for me to take back.  At the same time, one of their members, Laura, is in Zambia volunteering and teaching our children there.  Connecting children on both sides of the Atlantic
 
A cousin of mine in Tennessee and her friends, ordered bags made by the Chimwemwe ladies.  I returned to the states with 32 bags - connecting women on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
At one point in April there were volunteers from Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, and Florida all working together at our Village of Hope in Zambia.  And what a joy it was!
