The ZMM team spent Friday at Namwianga. One of the special activities was a sponsorship reception. All those on the team who sponsor students or who are from congregations that sponsor students had an opportunity to meet and get acquainted with those students. The upper photo shows Michele Broadway with some of the students who are sponsored by members of Brentwood Oaks Church of Christ in Austin. The entire sponsorship group is shown in the lower photo.
Other activities of the day included soccer and netball games with the ZMM team playing Namwianga--ZMM was defeated in both games, but players and spectators had a great time.
Friday evening a reception for the ZMM team and the Namwianga community was held. A highlight of that event was a presentation by the combined secondary choirs. Their singing was incredible, especially since not one of these gifted singers can read music.
We are packing up on Saturday morning and heading out for another set of clinics at Nazibbula and Mabuyu.

I am a great grandson to Jesse & Augusta Brittell, in fact my son Jesse was named after his great, great grandfather. Orville (Pa to me) was my grandfather and has just passed away in March 2007. I am sure, and would be blessed to help you learn more about my family!

Hey Linda, it's Miriam. I don't know if you know that my mother-in-law was a Brittell before she married. She grew up there in Livinston before moving to the US for college. I've been telling her and her sister Loreta forever that they need to get together with Sara to share stories. It's a small world. Sid is also Doug's Uncle on his fathers side, so we have connections to you guys all around.
I am thrilled to find these connections to the Brittell family. Allen, please e-mail me at dlgregersen@mac.com so I can find out more about your amazing family. Miriam, I didn't know your mother-in-law was a Brittell!
