News and Notes

I suspect some of our readers think that we are a little bit crazy for moving to Africa in our fifties. While we admit to a little bit of craziness, we also want to remind you that we have some nice perks over here. For instance, most of you are sweltering in the August heat. We, on the other hand, are enjoying cool mornings and evenings, with daytime temperatures in the 70’s and NO humidity. Yes, I know that our time is coming, and we will eventually be enduring the high temperatures without air conditioning, but we can gloat a little right now, can’t we?

Our house is still under construction. Andrew, the man in charge of the project, assured us this morning that it will be finished August 20.

Last week members of the Zambian Board met with three visiting members of the American Board. The Americans left on Friday just as a new team of drip irrigation and water well drilling people began arriving. This is a happening place!

A church leader from Singwamba was here last week to report that three new congregations have already begun as a result of the medical mission in July.
