It's been a while! Technology is not very reliable here.....either the internet isn't working, or our phone line isn't working, or the power is out! Things have been ridiculously busy here! I just got back from camp with over 100 highschool students and my peer educators...it was really really fun. The first night there was no water or electricity and it was pouring rain, so that really sucked. The next morning, one of the campers took Lisa and I to a nearby home so we could brush our teeth. That afternoon, we had to bath in an outdoor concrete sink! yikes! I saw lots of scary large insects, but no meaty spiders, so no nightmares:) I was only in charge of Fun and Games, so I had alot of free time to hang out with the campers and chill...good times. It was really hot...I'm working on my tan and am now finally as dark as the light Zambians:) I feel like i just got back from summer camp except it's december! wierd
Emelia, Nkombo, Me and Cynthia
.Transport was insane. We waited all day to get a bus, finally got home at 9ish and then had to have 6 people stay at our house because they were stranded. We were only 2 hours from our city, but somehow it was an all day event.
Lisa, my roomate, leaves on Thursday. We have had a million going away parties for her, and tomorrow night, her last night, is her birthday. I think I kinda know what I'm doing now, and will survive without her help...but still need lots of prayers! Official prayer letter to follow.
Enjoy this pics:)
I'll be in Egypt for Christmas with my fam! My cousin in getting married, and my brother just got married, so there should be lots of celebration:) Hope you all have an excellent Christmas and enjoy the snow!
It took about 20 minutes to upload the photos which means I gotta run because I'm out of time and money:)
miss you all
Maggie
