This week the whole family went out with Kevin on the Lunsemfwa River. We drove two hours to the Luangwa bridge, put the boat together, and down the river we went for about 45 min. We were met on the land by lots of curious faces. We followed them up to the meeting point, Lisongwe Baptist Church. They were so excited to see that Kevin actually had a wife and kids and that we would come too. We had a great visit with them. Kevin taught a lesson on overcoming Satan. Then they took us to a small little hut and fed us nshima and fish. On our way back we saw a pod of 10 hippos which was pretty cool. This was Hannah's first real time to go out on the boat. She loved it!! When we got back to where the truck was we had to take the boat apart again, wash it, and pack it all up. Let me tell you, it was a job!!! It is very hot in Luangwa so we were all dripping sweat. We were dehydrated and sunburned too. This boat is not very light either. As I was walking up the hill about the 10th time I thought that my husband must really love Jesus and love these people to do this twice a week. Sometimes he has one other person go with him who is a really big help but other times(like yesterday) he did it all by himself. I just don't think I could do that. Please continue to pray for these people to soak in everything they are learning and share it with others. Kevin has one more week there and then a week with a volunteer team in the same general area and then he will be finished for a while because the water will be too low to travel by boat.
Putting the boat together and pumping it up.
This is still on the Luangwa River. Up a little bit we run into the Lunsemfwa River.
