Well, we made it! 16 people and all 30 bags arrived safely in Lusaka, Zambia late last night after one and a half long days of traveling. We were met at the airport by Farai, Constance, and Norah - familiar faces for some, new for others - with big smiles and very welcome hugs all around.
We're staying at the Longacres Lodge here in Lusaka for 2 nights (http://www.zambiahostels.com/longacres.htm). Our accommodations are pretty nice once you embrace the bucket and pitcher shower system we've got going and the 5 AM wake-up calls from the roosters next door. Maybe they were merely saying "welcome to Zambia!" but I bet they're back again tomorrow. Our hosts here have been very gracious and let us use one of the conference rooms last night to sort our medicines and supplies in preparation for the days ahead of us.
For everyone following us back at home, thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers as we traveled here as well as those still to come throughout our journey here in Zambia. Know that we're thinking of you in return and keeping our families and friends stateside in our hearts while we embrace the people of Africa and all the gifts God has given us.
