Zambia team is excited to report that we are all safe and healthy!

Tomorrow we are planning our first trip into town since our arrival. The team is excited! We are also looking forward to our first close interaction with the staff and students here at the Zambia base.

On Sunday we again held our own service in a big outdoor tent. The team performed music and drama and puppets. Jen and Mari shared awesome testimonies and Josiah, Kenai, and Matt Bower shared messages from God‘s Word about abiding in Christ. In the afternoon the team reviewed verses and held a quiz off. Izzy worked to teach the team a new drama called ‘cage’.

Last Night the team had an awesome devotion time with worship led by Grace and Franchesca with help from Izzy… and with Asher playing the guitar. Peter G shared his testimony.

Today the team is continuing to dig the footer on the big building. We were glad to hear that the inspector has approved the foundation trench on the ablution block building. We plan to begin pouring concrete this afternoon!

As the days go by, I am growing closer to the new teammates I gained when joining onto the other team and I am also saddened by the thought that I only have nine more days at the base. I feel God working this summer. His plans are not our plans and I quickly had to adapt to the changes he has thrown our way. I’m happy to be on this team and for the opportunity to serve the Lord. I love seeing the progress at the worksite and the changes made every day to get us closer to the end goal. Miss Gay says if we work any harder she’s going to run out of food to feed us, we are working hard and eating lots. I can’t wait to see what God does next.

Hello there! We have been in Zambia for 12 days now. It’s hard to believe it’s been this long, the time has flown by. We just started pouring the concrete foundation for the bathroom we are building. It is hard work, but it is exciting to see the beginning of the building coming together. Soon will be able to leave the base and evangelize to the local people. I am very much looking forward to that. This summer has been full of challenges and many changes, but God is faithful and has been with us the entire time. Though I would not have chosen the changes that have happened, I am grateful for them because through them I have grown more and gotten to meet a bunch of wonderful new teammates. A huge thanks to everyone who has been praying for us!

Hello from Ndola! Life is so good. We started pouring concrete in our meter deep trenches today. Now our building can start going up rather than down. Tomorrow we will be able to go out to the mall for snacks! LDT has about two weeks left till we leave for our debrief. We are super sad to be leaving our team but excited to see the team we left behind in Florida. OK got to go bye!
