The couple whom we replaced are from Salem, Oregon. We have appreciated their helpfulness in getting us acquainted with Africa and for their patience in providing training to us.

We continue to be amazed at the beautiful people
and gorgeous country that we have immersed ourselves in. Our mission as Public
Affairs Specialists keeps us with full days, weeks and soon to be months.
Our assignment includes five countries. We drive to some assignments and
fly to others.

What can be more special than wearing this badge?

One of our assigned countries is Zambia. We were recently
in the capital city of Lusaka. On this particular visit, we drove from
the airport to the hotel then to the church for training then back to the hotel and then to the airport. We focused on the sweet people and as a result had no time for sightseeing.

Zambia is the size of Texas and has Victoria Falls on its border (which is one of the "Seven Wonders of the World") plus some of the most remarkable game drives. As missionaries our time is precious so sightseeing is very limited Hopefully, someday we will be able to return and have some time to see some sights.
Monday was back to the airport then home to Durban, South Africa.
