Hello friends,
Praise God, the Virginia team has arrived in Mukamba! Their travels went well with no customs or transfer difficulties. We put them to work right away, digging rocks for the floor of the first orphanage house. They are enjoying their first few days in the bush of Zambia. We have had the pleasure of worshipping with the Mukamba church and had the honor of listening to Pastor Petros. They have been a huge blessing and we are enjoying sharing old memories and making new ones. A lot of hands make much work much lighter- especially watering the 100 or so baby fruit trees in Amber’s orchard. Along with hauling sand, digging barach (rock similar to cement consistency), chopping firewood, fixing broken trailers, and our Landy which once again is experiencing difficulties we have been sharing lots of laughs as well.
Please pray for the delivery of lumber for the orphanage roof. A broken down truck has delayed the delivery once already, so we are anxious to get the supplies that will allow us to get busy. Also please pray for the Land Rover –that God will give us wisdom, strength and encouragement to be able to fix it as it is necessary transport for the team. Praise God that the two Toyotas are still working (Johan’s condor and our Hilux).
Now a note from our “special” friends Ryan and Ed-
A hello to Kirkwood Presbyterian. Your two missionaries are safe and sound and working hard. They are sure to have a lot of stories to share upon their return.
A quick note to the Ervin girls: Hello my girls love you guys Amanda, Sarah, Erika and a BIG LOVE YOU to my # 1 Candi :o) Ryan
Windhausen girls a love note to you guys too. Briana, Lindsey and to my Love Kris
Love you all, Ed
