Bikes are the best!

The boys are super excited that our crate made it to Lusaka- Mark unloaded their bikes and they've really been enjoying have space to ride around on them here at the guesthouse. Matthew was so pleased he remembered how to ride!

Micah is still getting the hang of riding his bike without training wheels. It's gonna take some practice! 

Passover

What a blessing to experience Passover meal with our dear friends, the Gunters. We are blessed to be in Lusaka with mission family during this season of sheltering in place. 

the body of Christ

We are worshiping the Lord with Todd and Kristi Stewart at the Guesthouse in Lusaka. 

Worship may look a little different than normal where you are too....the body of Christ is the people of Christ, not the building.....

water water everywhere

Water on the floodplain in the Western Province of Zambia! Thank You God! Thank you everyone for praying for rain!!

Who doesn't love to play in the rain? (Hazel, apparently. ha!!)

casts are off!

We are so happy for Micah- Medland Hospital here in Lusaka x-rayed his arms on March 11th and his radius bones have healed- so this is a snap of the Orthopedic Doctor doing the honors of removing Micah's casts. Yeah!  Thank You Lord for healing Micah and for Dr. West!

taco night

Ever had ostrich meat tacos?? They're pretty tasty! None of the kids even knew it was ostrich meat till AFTER they'd taken the first bite. Even our picky eater Matthew liked it!! 

We found this at the local grocery store here in Joburg...

and very inexpensive, too- only $2 US dollars!

Gabarone

Here are some pictures of our weekend with our dear friends, the Turners, who live in the capital city of Botswana, Gabarone.  It's about a 5 hour drive from Johannesburg. This is such a special family to us! We went through training together in 2009 and have been friends ever since. We thank the Lord for this family, their sweet spirits, and what the Lord is doing through them!
