Hello from Zambia! We are all doing extremely well! Our flights we fine and we arrived with all of our baggage, although each of our suitcases were gone through and mine & Meg's locks were completely cut off. Tanner and Dave are staying with Meg and I at the Mwepu's home, so we have been together thus far. The house is nice and the family is very loving; we truly feel like we are part of the family. Meg and I are in charge of cleaning after meals and Medica (Bernard's wife) says she will be teaching us how to be "good Zambian women." She wants us to teach her some American recipes - right now we're thinking spaghetti and grilled cheese - so if you have anything simple we may be able to do, let us know! The walk into town is not very far, so we have been a few times already. We haven't purchased anything except some drinks, roasted ground nuts, sweet potatoes and many tiny fish that look like minnows; Bernard says we will fry them and have them for dinner tomorrow.
The government here is involved in many aspects of Luanshya life. Zambia has declared itself a Christian nation, and this is very apparent; much more so than in the US. We met with the district commissioner today and all he could talk about was how great God was. The love of Christ is reflected in just about everything we experience.
Tomorrow we will be speaking to 500 Senior girls for almost 2 hours. Please pray for us as we each prepare on our different topics and our testimonies. Love you all!
