Chongwe

 One day we took my parents out to Chongwe so that they could meet some of our friends there and see where we used to live.  Tito was working on his new house so we went to that location first.

 We bought a couple of fritas for a snack.



 Walking to Tito's house



 Tito showed us around his house.

 This is how much he had done so far.

 This is where he makes his own bricks.  Tito explained this process to my parents.





 Next stop was to go see Tito's family.  They lived right behind us while we were in Chongwe.  Hannah spent most of her time at their house or these kids were at our house.  
The kids with Hannah are Dorcas, Deborah, Mapalo, and little Hannah.

 We ate lunch down at the river but didn't take any pictures there.  Our next stop was the Chongwe market.
We got to see lots of fish, vegetables, clothes, etc.





 We tried to get mama and daddy to try a caterpillar but they wouldn't do it!

 Our last stop was to visit Amai Mwachamota.  She has been our friend for many years.  It was so nice to just sit out on a mat and visit with her.



Me and my friend!

Crocodile Farm

 My mother did not really want to go and visit the crocodile farm because of the snakes.  She didn't mind seeing the crocs. though.  So while we looked at the snakes she just stood over to the side and looked in the other direction.  Zach is holding a python in the picture above.

 Looking into the python pit.

 the turtles

weaver bird nests
 
Here is the sign as you enter where the large crocs. are.
 


 My mom and Hannah each stuck their hand in and touched this large croc.  The mouth was at the other end!







 After the tour we enjoyed some croc. burgers and chips(french fries) under this rondoval.


Yum!

Seminary

 Our first two years in Zambia we lived in Lusaka and worked at the Baptist Seminary.  This is the chapel where students meet each day.  Twin Palms Baptist Church also meets here on Sundays.  

 Here is one of the class rooms.  I used to teach English in this class many years ago.

 the library

 All 3 of our children were baptized here.





We were so happy to show my parents the seminary.
