DEERFIELD BAPTIST WOMEN - ain't nothin' like'm

If you have never had the privilege to spend a little time in Deerfield, Virginia, then you are really missing something. The mountains are beautiful, and the hunting is great. The valley is quite a spectacular drive, but that doesn't compare to a group of ladies nestled back there that serve with all their hearts. I knew while I was there that they loved our family, but they continue to extend that love even with us 10,000 miles away. A huge box showed up at the post office (mposho - that is Shinkoya for Post Office) and when I opened that box I could not believe it. I am driving around Zambia with a medical bag that might be better equipped than many clinics. I laughed as I went through everything because I thought, if I pull this out the nationals will think I am a doctor. People will show up at the gate and want surgery or something. haha. You ladies are amazing. Thank you from all of us and thank you ahead of time from anyone I might have to do an appendectomy on in the future. hahaha

Watch out for that Kitty in the road. . .

Escpecially when the kitty is a leopard. hahaha Isn't that great! On the way to Lusaka today there was a leopard walking in the road. One thing about leopards, they move a little too fast for photographers. Sorry no pictures. We are safe and sound in Lusaka and have been talking with family and friends on skype. We have a big meeting to go to for the next few days. I will be posting as much as I can.
