Joy's Mama (Mamie) has come to visit us in Zambia! We started off in Johannesburg, South Africa and are now enjoying our visit in Nyimba, Zambia! We have had a wonderful time so far! Praise the Lord that her travel went well and that she has adjusted well to the time difference and been very healthy! God is good!!
Lauren and Mamie enjoy breakfast at Mugg & Bean in Joburg!
Lily wanted to make sure that Mamie had lunch at the Lusaka Tea Garden!
Easton and Mamie played some American football in Lusaka!
We loaded up the truck and headed to Nyimba! Here are some things we saw on the way.(Thank you SBC churches for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and providing us with this awesome Land Cruiser and trailer to haul supplies with!)
This is one of the most amazing and dangerous things about driving in Africa. We really share the road with bicycles, animals, and people. This man is carrying charcoal and each bag weighs approximately 50lbs. each and there is no way he can move over fast enough. We are traveling about 70 mph in this picture and look how close he is to us.
Mama always enjoys being with children whether in America or Zambia.
This is the youth choir of Nyimba Central Baptist Church where we attended church on Sunday.
**Be sure to check back soon for more pictures of our time with our first visitor from the US!!**
