Today, the kids wore their jerseys to school. Now, you must understand that our children wear uniforms to school. So when I heard they were wearing their jerseys, I was confused. Then I was informed that jerseys were what we in America call sweaters. Then I understood!
Today was a bit chilly out, with a high of only seventy, and the first clouds I have seen since arriving here. It is very dry here, so seventy is rather cool.
The children behaved better today than they did yesterday which was good. We have new kids coming to school next week! This afternoon we will prepare for that to happen. Thank God it is Friday though! Yay for the weekend! I get to go to the market tomorrow which is exciting.
Two of the missionaries leave tomorrow on furlough, where they will spend time with their family (including THE fattest grand-baby on record) and travel around America telling folks about the kids in Zambia! They will be gone for about eight weeks though which is sad.
Today, we went out to pray over the new school building, which is currently a cement slab, but it is growing rapidly! The kids all got their picture taken standing on the building. Then the kids sang Praise the Lord. Seventeen children ages 3-6 standing there in nice rows in their uniforms singing to the Lord. It was beautiful.
Back to work to get the school ready for the new children and the new unit next week!
Much love from Zambia!
