Cold Showers and Chockits
So - I love that in Zambia I can eat a diet consisting of Carbs and lose weight ;) Seriously, they have the best cookies in the world here. Chockits. Aww - they are worth the 20 hr. plane ride. I had forgotten how good they were. I also forgot about the cold showers at the lovely Mulungushi. Yesterday, we worked all day and then went to the land that night to see the other house being built. The houses look amazing. We went up to the hilltop and Raphael and I had a great conversation. I know that man is anointed. (He is our Father's Heart Coordinator/Director Zambia side.) I promise when he speaks it is almost as if God himself is talking to you. He talked about my calling of loving and showing children mercy and grace. I enjoyed spending the day with him, Dalitso, and Teddy. They are such wise and Jesus loving men. Last night, after our meeting I went running around Mulungushi. When I got back I knew that a refreshing cold shower awaited to me. Well, much to my surprise - the water in our villa was out. TIA! Stephanie washed my hair with water bottles and I took a stand up bath with water bottles as well. Definitely goes down in my books as one of the funniest moments in Africa. I get to see some of the children today. I am at the office again, and will leave in a bit. Thank you again for your prayers. Please continue praying for the children of Zambia that they would know the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for my protection. Nikukonda! Rae-Rae

It sounds like you are right at home, Rae Rae. I can't wait to join you in three weeks for the cookies and cold showers! Love you bunches and see you soon. -B
Rosser, I wrote you a really great comment this morning, but when I created my "identity" I lost it. As you can imagine I was very frustrated b/c the post was extremely funny and encouraging and I'm not sure I can duplicate it, but here goes nothin' or something or whatever that saying is. I busted out the sword and I had a word for you, Heb. 12:2 = fix your eyest on Jesus. Sister I'll be praying that over you b/c you'll need it. Seriously though, that's going to be key for you over the summer. If that doesn't work, then just get out your apple bottom jeans and your boots w/the fur and get on the dance flo, ok. Love you and miss you sister!!!
Hey there sis,
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blogs thus far and am always very excited to check each morning at 6 am after waking up to Tyler yellin "mama" for 10 minutes or so. It definately sounds like you are where you're supposed to be. I'm very excited for you and esp. can't wait until you get to see Wisdom. It feels weird that you're so far away. I catch myself several times a day reaching for the phone to call you to tell you a funny story about the boys only to remember you're not here :( But just wanted to tell you that the guitar is STILL a big hit. We have played religiously EVERY day since Tyler got it. He LOVES it to the nth degree. I seriously think he's going to be praise and worship leader. We now also use the remote as his microphone so he can sing while he plays. We jam out to Matt Redman's You Never Let Go ALL the time. And Garrett joins in the action as well, not with his instruments though just dancin and spinnin in circles. Too cute though. We are praying and thinkin of you often. Keep loving on those kids. WE LOVE YOU.
Josh, Erin, Tyler and Garrett
