okay. so i havent written a blog since our first saturday in kalomo. i know..i've slacked off. i did write one a couple days ago but ended up losing it and decided to give up. But i decided that i would write a short one since tomorrow we leave on holidays.
Instead of writing everything down, i will just write the highlights.
-hanging out with the kids at the orphanage
-teaching Dumulu( a 5 year old boy at the orphange) how to play cats craddle-he learned in about half an hour.
-pulling into Siabilumbi the first day and being greeted by boys playing the drums and ladies dancing
-doing VBS with the kids at Siabilumbi
-singing, dancing and being crazy
-Chitonga lessons with my friend Dennis
-a makua vs. Zambian soccer game
-shopping trips to Chome and Kalomo
-going to the poorest part of Kalomo to visit our sponser student, and pulling in and seeing all the kids jumping up and down with huge smiles on their faces
-smiling at cute kids, and getting smiles back.
-making and meeting new friends
-connecting with old friends
-traditional zambian meal cooked by the kids
-traditional south african meal at the calders
-getting my hair braided-it was an experience-it took 2 and a half days
-getting dancing lessons from Zambian girls
-singing in Chitonga
-playing with cute kids
-dacning with the ladies at Siabilumbi
-hanigng out at the orphange here on the mission(The haven)
-carrying a baby on my back

Those are just a few of the highlights of the last couple weeks here in Zambian. There are so many more and will be more in the next week or so. Tomorrow we go on holiday to Botswana and Zimbabwe. After three hard weeks of VBS it will be a nice break. And then in a little more than a week, we will be home in Canada.
Thats sad. I love this place, and espically the people.
I'm definitly going to miss it.
But Sheperd just pulled up. I've got to go.
later
