Group Picture




Greeting to all from Mansa. I have tried attached some larger pictures in front of our Church away from home. No luck..connections are too slow for full size files. Great church service yesterday. More to come from Amy. I can tell you all is well and we are having as much fun as the kids are. Yesterday, we walked through the burbs of Mansa. We had a group of 60 kids following us on our walk. It was interesting how people were just going about their Sunday...Washing, bathing kids, cooking dinner or just talking with neighbors. They have so much joy with so little. We drove to a lake on Sunday and saw some kids by the roadside working playing on the brick they had loaded..



One of the event today was a tooth brushing clinic. I think they just liked spitting the toothpaste on the ground.

I sat down and was studying my Bemba phrases and got a better lesson from the 20 kids which surrounded me. It was so much fun. I read them a phrase in Bemba and asked them to translate to English. Their English was much better than my Bemba.

Heres a picture of Tom and I with our new friends..








Here's a picture of Rachel with one of the kids. Sorry for the randomness of the pictures but I am picking smaller pictures...







More to come... John signing off from Zambia!
