We're Here!

Well, we arrived safely, and have been in Zambia for a few hours. It honestly feels as if I have never left. I forgot how much I love this place. The Lord reminded me of that as soon as I stepped off the plane and smelled the wonderful smell of burning trash. We were greeted by some of the heads of our staff here - Raphael, Teddy, Innocent, and Paul. Teddy was soon catching me up on more Nyanja to learn. We talked about Destiny School and how I was ready to go see my boys, and he just looked at me and smiled and said - your boy Wisdom, He is ready to see you. Teddy started laughing and I almost started crying because I just couldn't believe I was here. I still can't. I am so excited and ready to serve the Lord here this summer. I am so ready to see my boys and so blessed to serve with the amazing Zambians. We came into town to eat so, I wanted to post to say we are all safe. Yes and all 3 huge pieces of luggage got here. ;) I'm just ready to get to work. It is amazing how God brings such clarity while being here. It is like being home. Thank you for your prayers. Keep praying!

Hi Rach,

Thank God for his traveling mercies (you guys safe arrival). I know you are so very excited about being back--seeing/ministering to your kids.
I am so very proud of you--words can't do it justice, but the words are easier to put on paper--that way the tears don't interfere. I love you very much--keep in touch

Rachael,
God is good!! I'm so glad you arrived in Zambia--safe and sound.
Did you sleep any on the plane??
I hope so. I already miss you, but I know you are where God wants you to be. Enjoy everyday and just lean on the Lord. Talk to you soon. Give Joe a hug for me.
Love and Miss You. MOM

Rae,
I miss you already. Although you are far from home, I know that you are at home - it's strange. It's amazing to see you completely surrendered to his will. I love you so much!
