The things kids say...

On Thursday we drove out to a village school called Maposa, it has 196 students and 4 teachers. One room, with clay wayys and a straw roof (to give you a visual). We were pretty far out in the bush. The kids were so excited to see us. They loved our pupets shows, dancing, songs and the Bible story we told and acted out about Daniel and how he loved and trusted God.

As we were playing with the parachute - which they also loved and were facinated by, a little boy called Moses came up to a girl on the team and began asking her something in Bemba, the native language. She took him to the teahcer to have him translate and we all fell in love with him a little bit more when we found out he was asking if we were going to paint them to look like us, he thought we were painted because he had never seen white people before!!

On another note, the team is doing well. They had to kill a baby spitting cobra next to our house the other day, one of the girls on the team spotted it!! It was only a few feet from her so we are very glad she wasn't hurt.

I am loving africa, and learning more and more Bemba words everyday. I have learnt thunder (inpoopoonga) and rain (infulla) - i guess this gives you an idea of the weather we have been having - it is their rainy season. The monsoon type storms break up the humidity though so we welcome them even as we run in to save our laundry from the line int he garden!!!
