Praise the Lord, we made it to camp without incident. The flights were on time and pleasant.
We arrived in London on Friday and made a bee line to Stonehenge,
It was pretty chilly there but we had a nice but short stay there and then had
to get back to the airport and make our connecting flight to Johannesburg.
We arrived in Johannesburg on time and then caught a short
flight to Livingstone, Zambia. Again,
praise the Lord, our luggage – although thoroughly searched by TSA, all made it
there – all twelve bags.
Our friend and missionary were there and waiting for
us. So glad to see Jako! We stopped for supplies and food and then
started our trek into the bush. Again,
no problems.
This morning we woke up and headed to church after a quick
bite. It was great to be there
worshiping with our Tonga friends again.
After a very charismatic server, we headed home to camp.
We ate lunch and then took a tour of the “stump farm”. You won’t believe the corn (or maize) crop
that Jako is growing there. God is
surely blessing him for sure.
Tomorrow we’re going to hit the ground running and get some
stuff done. We might be able start the
roofing project later in the week. There’s
a fuel shortage problem in Zambia and finding transportation to haul the steel
we need to start the roof is going to be tough.
But Jako has a long list of things he’d like us to accomplish while we’re
here.
I’ll try to blog at least every other evening.
Yay! So thankful to hear that your journey there was uneventful!! Many prayers have been said while we waited to hear from the team. Thank the Lord for your safe arrival and extra blessings for all the luggage arriving with you! Hi to everyone and our love to Bill! Blessings - Margaret, Ashley, & Josh
ReplyDeleteJust wrapped up the FBCW Missions meeting at church when Ed said you had posted - brought a smile to everyone's face here. Thanks for the update on the "stump" farm - grateful to learn our work there last year is yielding results for MOL. I am sure Jako and Amber will keep all five of you out of trouble mostly and busy. Tell Kerry "thanks for not taking that bit of steak to work on Thursday for lunch - made for a tasty dinner on Saturday." Hugs all to the 3 J's and Amber from me. Love and prayers, Denise
