God is Good. All the Time!

Well – life has been full around here, and yet calm at the same time. We spend our mornings doing VBS with the kids, and they have a bunch of fun doing crafts and playing games, singing songs and learning memory verses. They are amazing at memorizing verses. They learn one a day with us and have been able to quote them all again each new day. Our afternoons have been filled with a variety of things – mainly spending time with different people. We’ve had a trip to a museum, gone to a few craft shops, and visited people’s homes. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it. Time seems to be so full, so I’m always exhausted at the end of the day. But it’s such a satisfying feeling, knowing your day has been filled with communing with people. I’m loving it to bits. I have just started to slightly miss some of you, so feel special =D . Though as much as I love you guys, I do want to stay here longer – four weeks is far too short for my liking. But don’t fret, I shall be home on our scheduled day (hopefully). Love to you all, see you in just over a week.

As the days progress, we are finding the weather becoming more and more warm. It hadn’t reached noon today when I went outside and felt the beaming sun against my skin. It is officially Saturday as I type this and it bewilders me still that we have been here for three weeks. I’ve had a bit of time to reflect over what has happened and it has just been such an incredible experience. To think that we made it through camp with the Scripture Union Team and our VBS feels surreal. The importance of relationships within the Zambian community is something I have deep appreciation for and all the wonderful people that we’ve met will remain indispensable to me. Today we’ve going to play beach volleyball with some of the SU volunteers so that should be a delightful time. There are two more days left until we leave on Monday at midnight; we will be bussing to Livingstone for the rest of the week then bussing back on Friday to Lusaka where (enter ‘gasp’) a flight home awaits us. But let’s not go there yet…there is still plenty of time to do things and one of the things I’ve learned (among a million other things) is that the quantity of time matters not where there are amazing people around to make that time worthwhile. I miss home dearly; and Nutella. Luckily, being a vegetarian is NOT impossible contrary to popular belief. I love you all.

Our VBS program has finished and we are spending our last days in Mongu spending time with friends we have made. We had the scripture union girl volunteers over last night for dinner and a sleepover. Their friendship has been a blessing to us and we enjoyed just having some ‘girl time’ together! We are attending part of the ECZ conference tomorrow morning and then will be leaving for Livingstone late Monday evening.
Thank you all so much for your love and prayers!!!
Love, the ZTEAM sisters
