I'm so sorry I haven't updated this at all since being here! For the first couple of weeks, there was no hope for the internet...which was totally unexpected. Our team had a hard time not communicating with anyone from home for a while. But now the internet works great almost all the time! :) Sometimes the power is cut and it won't work, but there aren't as many power cuts as I expected either.
I want you all to know that I am doing so well and having such an incredible experience. I can't even begin to express to you how much your prayers are appreciated and felt within our team. We are overwhelmed with blessings and love from near and far. :)
Including this week, we have 3 left here at Namwianga Mission, 1 (next week) traveling to Northern Zambia on a church planting camping trip and then 2 weeks at the end in Uganda and Rwanda. Only 6 more weeks in Africa! It will be hard to leave, but I am eager to get back and share what I have learned with everyone.
As expected, my heart and faith were and are being stretched and challenged in unimaginable and wonderful ways. Along with that, I have decided to change my major to Child and Family Studies with a Child Life emphasis. Ask me why when I get back if you are curious!
I miss rain, although rainy season is coming, so I will be seeing plenty of rain and new critters soon! Rainy season usually begins at the end of October going into November and lasts until April. Dry season, which is what we are currently experiencing, is April through October. No rain for seven months! If you can, imagine a perfectly blue sky with no clouds, everyday for seven months...it's a beautiful thing.
God is so good and everywhere I look.
Zambians are some of the most gracious, kind-hearted people I have ever met.
Have a blessed day and I will try and update again soon!

I know I mentioned this before, but i'm so excited you've switched to family studies ;) mostly because I'm gonna be a child life specialist too :) hehe, i miss you like crazy and I can't wait to see you again!!! Life here is good, I work at Great American Cookies and Bath and Body Works now, Rodger's at starbucks, classes have been pretty great, and I'm excited about the fall weather we've had today. I plan on volunteering at an alternative school soon to babysit infants of teen moms :) So, I'm way excited!!! Keep me updated, I love and miss you! Pray for Rodger and I as we are looking for a church home.
