Dad, Mom, Coach, and BUFFETT dropped me off at the airport in just enough time for me to grab a starbucks and catch up on some reading. Unfortunately Buffett was not too concerned with saying goodbye because he made friends with a Jack Russell Terrier who was also saying goodbye to his “mama.” He’ll be sorry once he realizes that I’m not coming home for a while. I love that little guy!
I had a long layover in London, which was great! I was able to meet up with Preston since he is doing a study abroad program and was in London. It was a complete miracle that we found each other because my phone decided not to work once I landed. So I went to the stop we were supposed to meet and waited. I didn’t take into account how large tube stops are and how many people go in and out of them. Some how, some way I spotted him in the crowd—such a blessing considering I did not want to be stuck in the middle of London ALONE! Once we found each other we went to lunch. Leave it up to us to find the one “Texas” restaurant in London. Haha. But the food was good and it was nice to be out of the heat. I was so surprised that London was hot—especially in the Tube. I was expecting cold weather. Then we walked around London till it was time for my flight to Zambia. So good seeing him!
Didn’t sleep very well on either flight, but I made up for it once I got here. Longgg nap! I watching Taken on the second flight—probably not the best idea. When we landed it took a while to get all of the luggage found and sorted. I got to see Samuel—one of our great bus drivers. He drove me to see Mumba last year!
Tonight All of summer staff went to get pizza for dinner. It was really good but took forever to get. They aren’t super concerned about time over here. Most of the girls have already been proposed to. Apparently I’m worth a few good chickens J
After dinner we came back to the village and went to the Kendalls house. We watched Indiana Jones—I’m hoping those will be the only snakes I will see while I’m here! And we made brownies!
It’s so cold here! I don’t now the exact temperature, but I know that my teeth have been chattering constantly! I will most definitely be layering up!Looking forward to a busy day tomorrow! So happy to be here!
Prayer requests—That I will stay warm and focused! That each day here will be a productive one and that all of our work will glorify God! That God continues to prepare the kids hearts to hear His truth! That all of summer staff will really get along and work well together!
