This little light of mine.....

Hello,
We are doing well. Our "work" has been good, just a little slow. Yesterday was our first day and we worked in one of the school that was started this past year with the help of Health Ed. Connect. We helped teach 1st and 2nd grade. Lauren taught social studies and I taught english....a surprise i know!!! But it went over well and I think that the children learned alot and so did we. Then i got to teach the 2nd grade children This little light of mine. It was a lot of fun and they learned four verses. They had a little bit of trouble with the verses, but man do they know the chorus. You could hear them from a mile away! It was wonderful. Then in the afternoon we helped the ladies cook lunch, which was really an early dinner, cause it was at four in the afternoon. But we had chicken and cabbage, and Nshima! It was a wonderful lunch.
Today Lauren and I sat in on the training part of this week, where people are being treated to be community health workers. We learned some about social mapping and what the three main problems are in rural Africa. Then we served some luch, today it was beef, cabbage, and Nshima. Then Lauren and I took some time to do a devotion. It was nice, but the little children kept on coming around and making noise so we woul look at them. Then we colored with the children. It was wonderful. There was a group of boys kids of off a little ways and they were laughing at the children that were coloring, but we talked them into coming over and coloring. They were really good artist. I was very pleased. We even had one girl that did not want to go home with her family. It wasnt until we left that she left.
All in all things are going well. We dont start our main part of work for a few weeks now, but we are preparing for that day that it comes. On Saturday we will head to Ndola for a few weeks to do some work over there as well.
We are both healthy and finding some comfort food along with donuts and ice cream, which are in a catergory all of their own.
Thanks for the prayers and blessing, we can feel them working.
