Mark 10:29-31 "'Truly I tell you,' Jesus replied, 'no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields - along with persecutions- and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.'"
How encouraging is that??
I am here in my second night, of what promises to be many to come, of power outages. Essentially now, I wait. I have candles and a torch. The power will be out for about three hours before returning. To me, turning the power off from 18 hours to 21 hours when the sun is not out seems silly, but oh well. The power company is called Zesco, so everyone refers to the outages as Zesco and it makes it kind of fun.
I figured out that I do have a roommate afterall! It is a salamander that I saw crawl under my refrigerator earlier, and that I learned lives in this house. How fun.
Some of the new children will start school next week! We will get two new 3 year olds and two new 4 year olds. That will be challenging for sure.
Last night I had dinner with one of the missionaries here, and it was good to get to know her some. We played Phase 10, and I forgot to warn her that I happen to be a very good card game player, oops!
Well I am off to roam in the dark! Hopefully I will not fall asleep too early, but the early wake up call makes it tempting.
Much love from Zambia.
