Christmas Shopping in Lusaka

 

On Monday Kimberly, Ann Rachel, and left for Lusaka at 8:30 am.  We pulled back into our driveway at 9:00 pm.  We had a great day and said that now we feel like Christmas.  Our car was loaded with bags and green stuff, including 5 rose bushes, and a live tree for the Hamelryck's house.  We had a lovely lunch together at Sandy's Creation which is a beautifully landscaped place that sells garden plants, shrubs, and trees.  We stopped at one store where we all got brown sugar, since many of our usual grocery stores rarely have brown sugar.  There were also a couple of other things that I don't usually see at the other stores.

 

We went to both malls as well.  Ann Rachel picked up small gifts that we will be giving to the aunties and mothers.  Kimberly got a tree, and I got a variety of stuff.  So it was a great day.  When Paul went to unload the car the next day, he said that maybe we needed to get a truck for the ladies.

Timothy was a wonderful young man, wanting to learn so much when I was there this last Spring. His passing should not be in vain, but should stay in our hearts as a reminder of how much still needs to be done, not just for the orphans but for the African people..Children of God. My prayers for his family and the sadness they must feel to having lost a son, brother, and a friend.
