Adventure City

Our last field trip with the kids was to Adventure City, a local water park. The weather was perfect and it wasn't too crowded. Only two injuries: a scraped foot and a knocked out tooth(I think it was all ready loose though) playing football.
I think I have failed to mention all of our volunteer teachers that are helping us this time. We have Becky, Johanna, Kym, Tracey, Bryce, and Steve working with all the kids. Each day they help them with their school work for a couple of hours, teach them a bible lesson, have a cultural lesson, play games, and make crafts. I don't know what we would do without all of these great helpers. We also have 5 nannies that keep the babies during the day while the parents are busy with their program.
Tomorrow we will all be shifting to Petauke to begin the bush camp phase of 40/40. Pray for us all to travel well and have good health. I'll be without internet while there so I'll update again in about 12 days.
Enjoy the pics.

Hannah went down the slide all by herself for the first time and just had KB catch her at the bottom. This was a big step for Hannah.

After returning back to the seminary a friend of mine asked me if I thought it was going to rain. I quickly said no because the rains have been finished for at least a month now. On my home it started sprinkling but quickly turned into rain. It then rained for the next couple of hours. It was weird and exciting all at the same time. This was very unusual weather for Zambia. It does show us that God is in control of our weather though. However, pray that it won't rain anymore or peoples crops will go bad. Their maize is drying now and if it gets wet it could be ruined.
