Slept well last night for 6 hours…did
take a half an Ambien just to make sure.
The women had to wake up early though and get to the Ministry for their
nurses interview which went well. We
then met up, exchanged dollars for Kwatcha, bought some snacks for the road and
an internet data bundle so I can blog and Skype with the family. The car ride today was hot and dusty. It was well into the 90’s, with no air and
several detours onto dusty side roads for road repairs. There is construction everywhere, evident of
an economy which has increased at 6-7% over the past year or so (booming
commodities market for copper). Passed
by the brand new national soccer stadium, but right next to it still saw
evidence of the marked economic disparity between the ruling elite and the
common Zambian.
Just like last year, we made it to
the Fig Tree in for lunch, and then traveled a bit further north to the Forest
Inn where we will stay tonight before continuing to Samfya in the morning. The
lastscape is a liitle different as Zambia is now entering the rainy
season. There are several flowering tree
species that are quite beautiful.
Prayer request: 1) That the team
would continue to bond so that His work can be done.
