I arrived safely here in Lusaka on Thursday and things are going well. My flight went smoothly but I was so happy to get off that flight and breath in some fresh air. Jessica picked me up at 6:30am and we headed to her house so I could shower and get settled in. We then went out to Mercy Ministries. It was so good to see many of the people I met last year. They showed me around and I saw all the new things that are going on at school. I was able to talk to Dorothy who started the school and it was so good to catch up with her. She has an incredibly strong faith in the Lord and such a grateful spirit for everything.
On Friday we had the privilege of tagging along with a friend of Jessica named Marcia and a lady who takes care of her home and fixes their meals named Ruth. We drove down to Livingstone (6hr drive) and saw Victoria Falls. This was a birthday present for Ruth who had never seen the falls or even been very far from Lusaka. It was so fun seeing everything through her eyes! All she kept saying was WOW!! I felt so humbled that I’ve been able to see these falls twice but someone who lives here has never been able to see it even once. I loved seeing her excitement and being blessed to come along. We drove back home today and are settling back in and preparing for the week ahead.
This next week we are going to work on a project for the grannies at the school to be able to help bring in income. Jessica has a few ideas so we’ll see what we are able to come up with. We also will be spending time up at school working and reading with the kids. It still feels kind of surreal that I’m actually here but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’m so excited for this next week and to see all that God does. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
