Another beautiful day in Zambia! The rainy season ends at the end of February and it felt like it today. Just a few little showers today and the sun sure felt hot.
Fortunately we didn’t have to work hard. Just some cleaning up this morning and floor prep in the next rooms.
After lunch we went for village tours close to Chasefu and that was a real treat. We learned a lot sitting with families at their homes and asking them questions about how they live. They also asked us some questions about the laws in our land, about marriage and even funerals. They said normally they have a dowry to be paid to the brides family, 3 cows seem to be common. But Taylor would only be worth 2 because they weren’t sure if she would stay. It was a good laugh! The smiles and welcoming spirit of the Zambian people is truly amazing.
Another highlight was taking bicycle taxies to visit Philemon at Keystone Christian School. Some of our bike drivers had to work harder then others but we all arrived safely and feeling like true Zambians. I think we all left Keystone impressed and inspired by the passion and courage it takes to pursue a dream.
We also went to Collins house and seen the work he’s been able to do and he shared some of his hopes and aspirations for the future.
We had to cross a washed out section of the Lundazi bridge. It was a good experience and everyone enjoyed a full day as we returned at 7 pm this evening for supper. Dorothy’s chicken may be getting better if that’s even possible ? But wow it’s good !!!
God is good !!
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Hope 7
