Well we are finally in Africa. We arrived in Lusaka on Tuesday after a fun 4 days in Belgium. We got to see so many places and meet lots of new people. One of the best parts of being in Belgium was playing soccer with Sam and Jonah(pronounced Yonah) on Sunday after church. They walked us to a little field a couple of blocks away and we played until lunch. After soccer we came back to the church and had lunch with them and then sang. It was fun to spend time with them and hear their stories. It was definitely one of the highlights.
And now we are in Africa and i love it here. We have done quite a bit and so i will just highlight the important things instead of writing it all out
-went shopping at Manda Hill
-went to Kassi orphange-I love african kids. i wanted to take all the babies and kids home with me
-went giraffe shopping at kafue
-stopped at a coffee farm that sells their coffee to starbucks
-ate really good food
-hung out with the kids at seven fountains farm
-unpacked the container
-spent one whole day sorting the stuff we unpacked
-ate more good food
-had a sweet 2 hour talk with Dennis and Ennis, Duncan and Allan(the poeple we are staying with)
-went to Kalomo market

and that brings us up to now. and here i am at el pantano-the internet cafe that rhutt and shepered own. and its hot outside and orange fanta sounds really good right now...actually a milkshake sounds better. so i think im going to get one. so i better be off. so far africa has been great. i love it here.
hopefully i will get to post a couple more times when i am here but i might not. but i better be off

later-alicia
