Zambia
I have found the people to be very warm and welcoming!
It has been encouraging to worship with a solid Church in Lusaka. I even sung with the worship team on Sunday... I'm glad they did not try to give me a microphone (and that they sing so loud that they probably did not even hear me!!! ) Last Saturday we spent the entire day at church. After youth meeting in the morning we had a meal and then crashed a wedding. I was very curious to what an African wedding may look like... it really was extremely similar to an American wedding... I think I really need to go to a traditional African wedding! Later that afternoon we sang for several hours... it was very encouraging.
We have been helping to encourage the building of a school in a village just outside Lusaka. The progress has been outstanding! The walls are almost done and the roof is to go on next week! Today we gave out the some of the T-shirts that Mrs. Zebell collected in the Dowagaic area. It went pretty well! I have also enjoyed many encouraging conversations with my parents, the Zebells, and a few Zambians.
One more notable thing... we went on a short Safari to Kafue National Park. It is huge park! Within five minutes of getting to our campsite we were told a Leopard was near... this is why the monkeys were chirping sooo very loud (they sounded like birds!) Just a few minutes later I saw a glimpse of that Leopard! It was not thought of the Leopard being close by (they tend to be shy animals) that kept me up that night... It was the sound of hippos or that I cold while still sharing a single bed next to Laura (we had many blankets). Sadly though I have yet to see a Lion in the wild.
Not sure if I will update again before I return to the U.S... My flight leaves Capetown Aug. 4th.
Cheers from Zambia!
