Our home in Nyimba, Zambia....

The day that we have been waiting for has finally arrived!!! Our future home in Nyimba. Kendall and Kevin went on Monday to see the Nyimba house where we will permanently live and they also visited our house in Chipata where we will live for language school. The camera ran out of juice for the house in Chipata and it was quite dark when they got there, but you all will see pictures of it very soon. The one thing about our house in Chipata is that we share our backyard wall with the largest mosque in Zambia. Missionaries are welcome there but no missionaries have been successful there in sharing the Gospel. WOW...what a prayer request!! Anyway, Kendall was unable to get into the Nyimba house because they had the wrong keys so there are no pictures of the inside, so the exterior pictures will have to do for now!! I am excited! The Morreau's are a missionary couple here and they are going to be fixing up this house to make it liveable and to look nicer, so I am looking forward to the move in day!!!

Our future home....in Nyimba, Zambia.

Our water tank and carport on the right, this is the side yard on the left of the house.

This is our round roof where we can sit outside and eat meals and just hang out! The green canopies roll up to allow breeze.

HILLS in the VERY back left of the picture. These are our fruit trees!!! This is still our yard! HUGE, huh??

This is the tree and patio in the front yard that Dwayne built for Betty right before they left for Lusaka.

Jambo and real chickens...

Jambo!!
Kenya was good to me! The conference center is at the top of a mountain in Limuru, Kenya and it was gorgeous! I took so many pictures of the flowers, because I know that I will be longing for those colorful pictures when we are in the midst of the dry season! I held my first live chicken for a skit that we performed. God was so good to me at this conference and it was a sweet time of retreat and time with Him! I also was able to share Jesus with 4 people! I also have become GOOD at bargaining at the market which is big for me because I HATE bargaining!! Kendall did AWESOME with the kids and I thanked the Lord once again for blessing me with an incredible husband and best friend! Enjoy these pics! These may be the last for a while because we leave for safari orientation on Saturday for 30 days! Please pray for good health, sweet memories, and an open LEARNING attitude for all of us!
Blessings,
