It's finally here! We leave Mobile @ 11:40 Tuesday morning and change planes in Atlanta. Then straight to Johannesburg, Africa where we change planes again for a short flight to arrive in Lusaka, Zambia at 8:50 pm on Wednesday!! That night we stay in a missionary guest house and then wake up and drive north for 2 days on rough roads at best. Sounds like plans have changed and we will stay at the missionaries house every night, with a shower and toilet! Don't ask me what we do during the day for a bathroom while we are with the villages!? I'll let you know. The missionaries said we are going to 5 different villages who have hardly ever seen white people! Bryan and I each have 4 Bible lessons we will be teaching through a translator. The people are illiterate and we are told they will have the stories memorized by the time we finish telling them and will pass the stories down. Pray that we say all God wants us to say and that the lessons will be more than just stories to them. Pray for Bryan, this will be his first experience teaching the Bible. Pray for good health. More importantly pray that people will find peace and hope in Jesus Christ. I'll write as soon as I can!
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14
