Choir

This morning we went to Bethel church again. We headed out with our chairs and met some of the kids on their way to church as well. Our sweet little boys we tutor came to offer to carry our chairs. They are so sweet. Other kids offered to hold our water bottles and cameras. Shanille grabbed my hand and walked the whole way to church with me. Such little cuties! We got to church right when it was starting. We put our chairs in the back again. This time there were no extra hymnals so we sang along to the hymns the best we could. Thankfully they sing the familiar Lenten hymns repeatedly so we knew most of the words. The format was the same as last week, with the same beautiful choirs. We managed to take some video of the choirs today too. The service was about 2 hours long, and after greeting everyone we headed home with our nice chair-holders and little buddies holding our hands.
Lunch was sandwiches and relaxing inside since it started to rain a little bit. The rain is weird today because it’s so sunny out.

In a week from today we are planning on being at Victoria Falls, Lord-willing. So this afternoon we decided to research some cheap hostels to stay at, and this is the one we found. We made our reservations for 4 nights here: http://backpackzambia.com/backpackers.php March 24th-27th. We are so excited!!! Since it’s the rainy season, the Falls are going to be so large. We’re planning on taking a bus down to Livingstone which we heard takes about 5 hours. Then we’ll catch a ride back to Lusaka with Pastor Hartmann on Wednesday the 28th.

This afternoon Pastor Sargent came over to install the printer and it works! It’s going to be such a blessing to have that now! Then we headed over to choir practice. It was about an hour and forty minute practice, only practicing 3 songs, but it was a lot of fun. We have our songs pretty much down for Wednesday and even have a few dance moves thrown in. J
We walked up to the store to get some chocolate for ourselves and chap stick for Erika then made supper of veggies and fried eggs while watching some Friends and doing some planning and laundry.

This weekend was so nice and relaxing. We didn’t do a whole lot, but we were productive with our lesson planning and it was nice to relax!
