What a day! Today was our first day in Zambia. From stepping off the plane to an airport with three gates—their largest airport in Zambia—to driving on the left hand side of the road, to wearing flipflops and shorts in February, to seeing lizards crawl through the buildings, to meeting and being overwhelmed by meeting so many awesome and caring people, it was a wonderful day, complete with shower and nap. J We started to get settled in the guest house—some very nice accommodations I might add—before heading to one of the malls in town for some grub and shopping. You would think that a third world country would not have a nice big shopping mall, but no, they have TWO! We got all set with the Zambian forms of Internet and cell phones so that were can stay connected to our students and coworkers. We spent the majority of the day with D and L, two of the missionaries here, and D&D, some more nice people that WELS Kingdom Workers sent along. They showed us the ropes and treated us like family. J We ended the evening by watching a rerun of the Superbowl, or at least ¾ of it before the power went out. But we learned the Packers had won, making it even more of a great day. J
