Wow. So much to write and so little time. The team has arrived safely in Ndola. We have spent this week staying with Richard and his "family" in the Shunnamite house. We have gotten to spend lots of times with the orphans in the neighborhood-playing, dancing, making crafts, and singing! It has been so great to get to know them.

The boys have been working on the construction of Richard's house as it currently has no plumbing-so that has been interesting. We have done a lot this week: visited 2 villages, washed feet and gave out shoes to over 200 kids, played some soccer, sewed curtains, led worship at church, and so much more. We go to bed every night very tired.

Next week are our music camps and youth rally so we have a lot of work to do. Please pray for us as we try to organize a program in a culture that is very unorganized. Pray that the camps will go smoothly and that the kids would experience God in a real way. Also pray for our continued health and safety as we do not want to be burdened with sickness while we are here.

God has been so good to us and blessed us hugely so far!
Thanks to all of you for you love, prayers, and support,
Whitney (on behalf of the Zamfam)
