Update - September 27, 2007

We are barely squeaking by on our internet bandwidth for the month, so I’ve been staying off the internet as much as possible. We’ve also been incredibly busy. I laugh when I remember that before we moved here, we thought our life would slow down! It hasn’t happened yet.

Henry and Mary Ann Melton were here until Monday. Henry did several small group sessions with students and Mary Ann kept busy teaching women’s classes. We took them to Choma on Saturday and then visited the Kalomo High School church on Sunday. I think they made some great memories here and will want to return some day.

We tell all our guests what David Broom told me on the medical mission years ago: Africa is like poison ivy on the brain, and the only way to scratch it is to go back.

Tomorrow we are heading off to Lusaka for the weekend. The American Embassy is hosting a braii (cookout) for ex-patriots on Saturday night. The invitation says we’ll get to meet the Ambassador and new members of the Embassy community, discuss ongoing security concerns, and get information about voting in the 2008 elections. It should be an interesting experience!
