We drove to a village today (that means it was too far to walk and is pretty far from the town). James (the missionary) has only been to the village to teach once before and only one man came. This village was soooo scared of us. They would run in their huts and shut the door. Bryan and I only had two huts welcome us. They welcome you when they get the children to bring you something to sit on. The children still followed us, but they were very timid. We brought the frisby today that Robert Brown gave us. Thank goodness we had it because they didn't want to come close to us. We tried to play duck duck goose with them. They told the translator they wanted to play but they were afraid of muzungo (white people). There is a legend they tell children in some villages in zambia to make their children behave. They tell them if they aren't good the muzungo will come and eat you. We are pretty sure they tell that story in the village we were at. We go to the villages at 10am and go hut to hut talking with them and inviting them to the bible study @15 (3pm). We eat a sack lunch @ 13 (1pm) and have a break until time to tell the bible stories. We use that break to play with the children. I keep telling the missionaries i want to hold one of their babies soooo bad. James said just pick one up, they won't mind. So today of all days (when we just arrived) we were under a tree talking to a man and the baby came right to me and crawled on my lap! I almost cried i was so happy. Then the mother came running across the dirt road and grabbed the baby from me. We weren't aware this village had not encountered many white people at the time. I hope i get my courage back. Next time i will wait to see how fearful the people are. Yesterday wasn't like that at all! The children were hanging on the back of the truck as we were leaving. They had to tell them to go home. Justin joked and said, " how do you say "I will eat you" in Bemba?" I don't think they had seen cars before! At least not many. I saw 2 boys go up to the truck and slowly touch it with their finger. There were 70 people off and on during the bible study today!!! They wouldn't sit close to us but they were very interested. James started off my telling them not to be afraid of us just because of our skin. We were there to tell them about Lasa (God) and we hated evil spirits. We didn't want to take any stones from them or anything else. We were just there to give them good news. It was amazing. This was the most unreached village to date, and yet there was a Jehovah's Witness church. They are everywhere!!! Anyway, we taught from creation to Jacob. They said they wanted to continue to come to the Bible study. OH... Bryan got dehydrated today between lunch and Bible time! We take our malaria on Tuesdays, that may have made him feel bad also. He wasn't able to teach today. He went and sat against the side of a hut in the shade. He's doing much better now. He seems fine... he's playing battleship with Matthew.

Tomorrow we are going back to see the chief because we have permission to take a picture with him!!!! I can't wait for you to see the palace! So we will be bowing and bobbing while clapping again tomorrow. It is so funny, I hope i don't laugh!

Oh, i went to use the lue (bathroom) today and couldn't do it!! It's a small brick and grass roof hut with a hole. This one smelled soooo bad from outside and inside was pitch black. I could only hear bugs buzzing. I flashed my camera to see where the hole was but after the flash it was black again. When i came out they asked if i was scared and i of course said, "no! awey!". I found another one to use that had light!

Bryan and Matthew have seen more nudity in the past few days than any other American boys will see in a life time!!! All American boy should visit here, it would fix some of their problems!

I will write again tomorrow. We love you all. Keep posting comments, we love to read them!
