We're Here!

We made it! After 24 hours of travel, including a 14.5 hour flight from New York to South Africa, we arrived Wednesday around noon Zambian time (6 AM EST). We went from 40 degree weather to 105 degree weather in a single day!

Currently, we are staying at the team house in Livingstone. On Friday, we will head out to Singanga village where we will stay until Sunday. During that time, we will be able to get an idea of our living situation and be able to come back to gather supplies and groceries for our more permanent move to the village next week.

The people and the team have been wonderful so far! Today, we were able to go along with a part of the team to the school in Ngwenya village, which is near Livingstone. While we were there, we helped tutor children who are part of the Family Table group. This group of about a dozen children receive a bag of mealy (corn meal) each month and tutoring once a week. It was great to interact with this group of kids and give them one on one attention.

Please pray for us as we try to figure out how to navigate the culture and get used to the heat. Also, pray for us as we head off to the village and arrive to the place that we will spend the next year. We do feel the weight of the task that we are attempting but we know that our God is bigger than any obstacle!

We really appreciate all of the love and support to get us to the start of this journey!
