Finally at New Day

YAY! I finally am able to log on to blogger! This will be just a quick update. We have prayer & praise tonight! We got to NDO about 4:00 pm (Zambia time) on Monday afternoon. We arrived & everyone was out to greet us with singing & lots of hugs! Top of the list for most amazing moment so far! The jet lag has really been crazy! I am just so tired! Getting closer to 100% everyday! We got a tour on Tuesday with a bonus...a short ox cart ride. We also played with the kids so the staff could have their monthly meeting. Katie & I also milked Martha the cow! Blu & Darbi taught Katie how to play spicey uno. Blu won 3 times & Darbi won 1 game. I think tonight is Katie's night! We have these wall spiders that hang out on the walls at night & I will post pictures if all of this a different time because the pictures are on the other computer.
Blu & Darbi are the most AMAZING hosts! Blu made us chocolate iced cake donuts( my favorite), We had spaghetti last night, taco salad Monday night & baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and delicious homemade bread!
We organized the library this morning, we helped the kids make birthday cards for Laurie's mom who will be 80 soon. We also spent some time in the library with the kids. I had a whole group wanting to read to me all at the same time. Katie had a group of the younger ones that she read stories to.
Katie has been spending a lot of time playing with the kids. They love her!
Darbi spent a lot of time cooking, and baking for tomorrows 4th of July celebration. They have invited local American missionaries & their kids over for a bbq & games.
We will also have a campfire & that should be fun!
We are headed out to Prayer & Praise where we all get together & sing and pray.
You can check out facebook for some pictures. I will try & post some more soon.
The sunsets are AMAZING here.
I know this is all so short & reads quite fast, but I need save some stuff for the stories when we get home!
Love you all! Thank you for constantly praying for us, and everyone here at New Day.
We have had so many adventures so far & it is only (almost the end) of day 3. We look forward to what else God has to show us.

Thanks for checking in on us!
