Dear Friends and Family,
After a long weekend in Livinsgstone, we are all back, safe and sound, at Namwianga. It was a fun, relaxing break to be away for a couple days, but I think that, once we got on the 15 minute bumpy dirt road that gets us to Namwianga, we were all excited to be back "home". We came back to an unscheduled power outage, which simply meant Sunday evening worship was by candlelight (about ten candles for 400 people) and we heated up dinner on the gas stove. Sometime after curfew, the power came back on (I only noticed it at 5am when my alarm went off and the fans were on :)
A quick rundown of the weekend:
We took off at 5:15am for Livingstone on Friday morning so we could get the first crew of rafters out on the river. About 12 of us rafted the Zambezi river, while others rode elephants and walked Livingstone Island to "Devil's Pool". On Saturday, the majority of the group went to the gorge to do the gorge swing, zip lining, and rappelling.
Sunday morning we ate breakfast and went to worship with the Livingstone Central Church of Christ (heralded as one of the few, if not the only, Zambian churches to start on time). And of course, we were the ones just a few minutes late. After lunch and some shopping we took Zambia's main road from Livingstone back to Kalomo.
This week there is plenty going on with classes, clinic, school, havens, and outreach. We'll try to make the most of the next two weeks before our next big trip to the North-Western province.
More soon, hopefully accompanied by some pictures and video.
Jeremy
