Our time at 40/40 has been fulfilling and very informative. We have gone out into the city of Lusaka almost every day participating in our field assignments. These have included: observation skills, greeting skills, forming relationships, learning what Africans think a missionary is, understanding funerals and death, giving our testimony and gospel witness, learning the aspects of medicine and health, and finally, experiencing a church service in Lusaka. On Monday, Nov. 5 we travel to Petauke (a rural town in the eastern province).
As you can see, the kids are having the best time! They have made many new friends and they have actually enjoyed washing their own dishes. This is what the buckets on the table are used for. We have a rubbish bucket (that's trash for those of you who don't know), a rinse bucket, a cold soapy wash, a hot soapy wash, a cold rinse with potassium permangenate (PP), and a hot rinse with PP. Then we move out to the sunshine and wave our dishes in the air to dry. Yesterday after lunch, the kids found a scorpion about the size of the palm of an adult hand. One of our missionaries caught it and put it in a jar.

Yo Ricky!! Do you even own any shirts without that dreaded orange stuff on them??? My goodness, boy, you are your daddy's son. I think I'll send you a couple of Carolina shirts so you can make us proud. HA HA!!! Actually, on second thought, probably won't send them. I imagine you'd just use them to wash the dishes and I certainly don't want to contribute to that fun chore.
On a more serious note: Thanks so much for the wonderful undates and pictures. What a joy to walk this journey with you all. I am praying for you all as you learn about and adapt to your surroundings.
God bless!!
