40/40 is an orientation program for new missionaries coming to serve in our Affinity group. This is probably the smallest group we have had so far since we have been doing it. We only have 19 adults and 5 kids plus staff. We have just completed the first 12 days of the program in Lusaka. In the morning we will head out to bush camp about 6 hours away from Lusaka. While there we will all live in tents, take bucket showers, have no electricity or internet, pump our own water, and have lots of fun learning about African culture. Please pray for us all as we travel and settle into camp tomorrow. You can also pray for good health among everyone. Over in the sidebar is a daily prayer guide for 40/40 if you are interested in seeing what we are doing each day and then praying for us. I have included some pics. below of this first part of the program. Sorry I don't have many pics. of the adults. I will try to get more of them out at bush camp.
While the parents are in class or out in the city the kids also have a program that they are involved in. On this day they went to the crocodile farm and learned about crocs. and snakes. Here everyone is looking down into the Python pit.
Kym is holding Logan in this pic. He was not afraid at all of this snake.
KB holding the brown house snake.
This snake looks like it was posing for the pic. I would much rather see this snake behind the glass than out in the wild.

Our tour guide caught this small croc. so that the children could touch it. Here is a pic. of Hannah touching the croc.
There are over 100 of these great big crocs. at this park!
John got out one of the small Pythons for the children to touch.
On another day we took the kids to Adventure City which is a water park. Here Olivia and Karis watched the others go down the slides while they were getting all warmed up in their towels.
KB and Hannah going down one of the slides together.

On another day the kids went to visit a Zambians home.
They tried some Zambian food.
They also learned how to play a game.
Kym is the teacher for this class. She has been teaching at 40/40 for several years. We are so thankful for her sacrifice to come here each time and teach. The kids always love their Aunt Kym!
Kym braids their hair almost every day.
The kids also have to do their school work M-F. So they take the first couple of hours in the morning to do that.
Each morning the participants start the day off with some worship songs and then they get into small groups and have bible study.
On another day the kids went to a local market to practice their bargaining skills that they learned the day before. They each bought something fun.
