Wisdom.

So, this blog is on Wisdom. Umm, yeah he is stinking amazing. He led two other little boys to the Lord today. He prayed over them and prayed with them the salvation prayer. Mom, I got the card today and the camera this morning! Thank you the card was sweet. Wisdom had his one on one today. His nightmares are gone. Praise GOD! We showed him the video of Tyler. He was so happy. He kept saying Zi Komo Kwamburi. (Which means thank you.) Wes and I both prayed over Wis and then HE prayed over himself and Weston and I. Erin - he prayed for your family - specifically Tyler. It was such a sweet prayer. Last year he did not even know how to pray - this year he prays with might and authority. AMAZING. One of my new babies, Mukonda, had a little accident on me today. Pretty funny all in all - but he was bawling and so embarrassed. Well, we solved that problem. I got some water and poured it on his shorts trying to wash them out, and then I just picked him up and held him the rest of the time, trying to reassure him that I did not care - I still loved him. (I went home and took a shower afterwards.) I just love that the Lord moves here and that I feel so much at peace here. I can hear him here and I can see him here. He definitely loves these kids. Continue to pray for Camp - this is only Week 1. Many of the Americans have had similar stories to me as last year. I feel blessed because my kids are spiritually more mature then last year. Continue to pray for them.

Sunday at church - Isaac Sikazwe - one of our discipleship leaders sang this amazing song called Daddy -How long. I just cried and cried because I think about the oppression of these kids. How poor they are and just how hard their lives are - the constant uncertainty for food - the toughness of survival - the witchcraft - the abuse - the neglect - AIDS - the lack of love. I just cried and wanted to know how long Lord - how long will you wait to rescue these kids. My children despite their circumstances which are still hard thrive. Their faith is real. They hope in the Lord. He is their strength - he is their rock. HE is real. I see him in their eyes, their smiles. I just love hugging them - these children who last year would not hug me back - now tackle me with kisses and hugs and sit in my lap and just lay beside me. I love being the Lord's hands and feet this week. Please keep praying. Thursday is community day - when the kids go out and witness to their community -Matero. Just keep interceding for them, for me, for all of the Americans here, and all of the Zambians here. Zi Komo Kwamburi!

Rosser, great updates; I can't wait to come see my kiddos. You've missed a lot here; Erika and I are both married and pregnant; it must have been our amazing dancing skills, especially Erika :) Other than that things are really quite around here; I'm praying for you guys when I go on my walks. Let me know if there's something I can specifically pray for. Love you and miss you tons, but I'm glad you're there to love the heck out of those kids!!!!!
