Busy, Busy!!


So what to write what to write, it has been a busy few days! I would have written sooner but the internet where I am staying has been out for the past couple of days and I finally was able to get to the local internet cafĂ© to write. Well, the second 40’ container finally arrived on site yesterday and we unloaded it just fine and everything made it safe and sound from Dallas, praise the Lord! I am really sore today because I think every box on that container weighed about 80lbs but now we have a full 10,000 shoes, shirts, and bandanas, to give to the kids over 8 weeks of camp! On the container yesterday were several backpacks, pencils, pens, and paper and today we organized about 40 backpacks each containing a binder filled with paper, a spiral notebook, 2 pens and 2 pencils and delivered them to 40 students at the school that Family Legacy had started this year and the students went crazy for the supplies! It was incredibly encouraging because it was our first interaction with any of the students so far since we arrived in Lusaka almost a week ago now. Now begins the task of unpacking all of the boxes and getting ready for camp. The first set of American volunteers arrived yesterday and are already down at Victoria Falls and the remaining 53 volunteers will arrive on Saturday. Sunday night we will get paired up with our Zambian volunteers and Monday begins Camp LIFE 2007! Just continue praying that we can get all of our work done and squared away before the first 900 kids arrive early Monday morning. Thank you so much for reading this blog and just remember to pray for the orphans here in Zambia. Bless God!!
P.S. I know the picture is blurry but I liked the boy holding up is backpack on truck.

I'm praying for ya buddy! I am going to have the same group of girls this summer and we're going to be praying for you and keeping up with your trip during the summer. I'm realizing God is amazing more and more each day this summer and I can't wait to hear more stories about Zambia!
