It seems crazy that we have only a few days left in Zambia. It has gone by so fast. I tried to write a blog post the other day but my internet time ran out just before I finished. hmmmm...This week we finished up our projects in Ndola and had to say goodbye to all the kids after a crazy kool-aid and craft party. It was so difficult, as we realized how attached we had become to a lot of them. They give you their hearts so fast and love you, it makes it really hard to leave them. But we headed to Livingstone for the vacation portion of our trip. It was incredible! Words cannot describe the immensity and overwhelming beauty of the falls. I just had to worship the incredible, creative, loving God who could create such things for us to enjoy.

Now we have travelled to Lusaka and are being blessed by our friends Barbara and BJ. We arrived last evening and are staying at Barbara's brother's lodge. BJ, a popular Zambian musician-turned pastor, set up a spot for us to appear on Good Morning Zambia- the national morning show. It was so sweet to get to share about why we came to Zambia and what God has been doing. We also got to sing the song "perfect peace" which we had written the first day on the bus to Ndola! Tomorrow we will play for BJ's church, enjoy a braie (a traditional Zambian BBQ) in the afternoon with the church, and then play again for a worship night event in the evening.

We feel incredibly blessed for such awesome, unforgettable experiences. Again, God has been ordaining and arranging so much for us! It is so good to know that He takes whatever we will offer of ourselves, be it time, talents, or money, and uses it for his glory. It makes all of our time with the kids worthwhile, despite the pain of leaving, knowing that the seeds of His hope, joy and love which we sowed will continue to be watered by Pastor Richard and all those at the Shunammite House. God truly does not leave us as orphans!
