Choma (Zambia) Update

yesterday was a long day, but very interesting. traveled by bus a couple of hours away to a village and the jemba school. the roads were very narrow and hilly and the bus caught in a rut, everyone had to get off so it could work out of the trouble spot. taught their discipleship lessons, toured village, ate lunch with some missionaries who served them chili .the students there were a little more forward about asking for money, etc... the area was more rural than choma
Terry said it is so interesting to him how similar many things are to the u.s.
Many students ask to exchange mail info. Had to leave in time to get back to work at the revival in choma. Today the group was able to sleep in past 5:00, their usual time to awaken. Split up into 3 groups to attend different churches, revival was in the afternoon today, so when terry called, about 7:30 pm their time, they were enjoying a little down time. There is a student in choma who terry and others have befriended, who wants to be a pilot. he has exchanged mail info and terry and others hope to keep up with him. He sang with andy in the revival today.
Spaghetti was served for dinner, tuna for lunch. Terry says the food has really been pretty ok. Tomorrow is the last day to teach. leave early tues. am for livingstone for a tour of the falls.
