Happy 21st birthday Rachel! I hope you made many good choices ;) Linda and I ate ice cream today to celebrate from across the ocean.
A big shout-out to all my wonderful sisters and friends who wrote me so many encouraging letters to read while I was here. I am having a hard time spreading them out over three months but hopefully I can make it happen. They are so fun to open! A huge thank you to the lovely Ms. Sandy Urko who gave me so many envelopes filled with really awesome Bible verses and quotes and such. That is so great and I love them very much.
Somethings I read today:
"Every day we are called to small things with great love" Mother Teresa
Love...fears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
So sweet. New kids start school tomorrow! Oh man... Good thing Teacher Maureen knows Bemba because I sure do not!
I now have Zambian currency, Kwacha. 1 US dollar is about 3,500 kwacha, so I feel very rich. It is fun trying to convert everything to compare prices and figure out what you are really spending. Today, I bought two pairs of earrings for 12,000 kwacha! I felt like I was spending a whole lot, but really it was really cheep.
Much love from Zambia. Thanks for reading and for your support and prayer and love!

Hope you found Lusaka fun. Having been to Arcades and manda hills I know how fun they are, luxurious. The best restaurants are at arcades bythe way. What are you doing for a phone. We bought cheap local ones and got sim cards and just bought top off minutes so we always had a local phone for local calls.
you are doing amazing things..god bless you! your uncle don
Whoo! I love hearing great things about your mission! Keep plowing through. These kids are very blessed to have you, and I know that you are blessed in an entirely different aspect to have them play on your heart. Love and encouragement from Greenville!
Sara!! I love reading about your life in Zambia! It makes me feel close to you, so I try not to think about how far you really are. I want you to know I pray for you a lot...multiple times a day. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off everyday that says "pray for Sara" and I have your name written on my hand...which caused me to stop and pray for you while I was sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office today :) I love you kido. I'm very proud of you. Praise God for everything He is doing through you. :) xoxox
