Church on Sunday

Hi everyone,

I've just received an update from Rob this morning, after he had talked to Hilary on the phone:


"The group made church this morning after a 30 minute walk. The service was 2 hours in length and of course welcomed our group amongst them. Hilary spoke on behalf of all and some stayed on for a second service in the afternoon. I'm guessing no Sunday shopping there!"

I also received an email from Jess that she said could be posted on the blog:

"We went to Hope and Faith school on Friday where we had a tour of their school that teaches over 600 children. This includes kids from an orphanage, that is being run by a man whom we met.  We had a great time playing with all the kids there. Most of them were on break, only the orphans (hate calling them that) were there. We sang songs with them, danced, played and did lots of laughing. In the afternoon we picked out fabric and went to the tailors to be measured and have something special made for us. It was a fun time. That night, we went to Omega's sister, Jennifer's for dinner. We had a wonderful time with her! She made us plenty of food and kept trying to get us to eat more of it!

On Saturday, we traveled to Chipembi. The road coming here was part paved and part dirt. Our bus driver, Christopher, was great. He told us what things were as we were passing by them. A family of monkeys entertained us by running in front of the bus. None were hurt! We saw more monkeys on the side of the road under the trees and in them.  The dirt road is very bumpy and not a pleasant drive. It is only a short distance, but takes much longer to drive.  At Omega's, we met with chickens who can climb trees and met the rooster who does not have a very good internal clock. He crows all the time, including in the middle of the night! We had a dinner of chicken, beans, rice, and a potato dish. All was very good! Omega's house is amazing! It is just beautiful and we were all very glad to arrive."
