News and Notes - June 29

We have been limited in our internet usage this week. We managed to use up almost all of our monthly bandwidth by the 18th, so we've had to be very careful these last few days. Tonight I'm using Ellie Hamby's wireless connection. If you've e-mailed and not heard back from us, just wait until July 1 when we get our new monthly allotment.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we were in Lusaka. Sara had never been there and wanted to see the capital city. We also needed to buy formula for The Haven and wanted to get a luggage rack put on our vehicle. Sara got to see Lusaka, but in true Zambian style we didn't get the other errands accomplished. The warehouse was out of formula, and the place that was making the luggage rack had a power outage and couldn't finish the job. We did get to do some shopping and enjoyed being with some of the Americans who flew in to Lusaka for early work on the medical mission.

Sara has been bringing home a toddler or two at lunch time and occasionally has one spend the night. I have fallen in love with every one of them, and both Sara and I missed the babies when we were in Lusaka.

The annual lectureship starts at Namwianga tonight and Christians from all over southern Zambia will be gathering for fellowship and teaching. David is speaking at tomorrow's morning session and I'll be speaking to the women tomorrow afternoon.

David, Linda and Sarah - I don't have your regular e-mail but I wanted to say again how thankful we were for the two nights at your home a couple of weeks ago. We finished our work at Mapepe on Monday and started our trip back to Memphis on Tuesday. We got in very tired on Wednesday night after three different flights. I think my Marriage and the Family course and Kim's Creative Teaching Methods went pretty well. We will be praying for all of your work there at Namwianga and the surrounding area. God is really using you guys there in a powerful way. Yours in Christ, Keith, Kim, Josh, Joanna and Joel Fussell.
