We made it!

Hi everyone-
Sorry for the delay in posting, but we've had a tough time getting internet access.  But all is well now.
We got into Zambia on Saturday afternoon (our time), and all was good.  We had a minor issue at customs, but got through without much problem.   And ALL of the contents of our suitcases were intact- praise God!
So on Saturday, while in Livingstone, we stocked up on groceries then headed to Zimba, about 45 minutes drive.   We got settled into Ashley's, enjoyed dinner at Dr. Dan & Dr. Joan's house, then slept like we hadn't slept in days- oh yeah, I guess we really hadn't!  But it felt great to catch up.

Sunday morning we walked to church and had a great time of worship...Everyone was excited to see Ashley again, and were very welcoming to me.  Ashley introduced me as her Aunt Rose... Somehow that turned into my new Zambian name- Auntie Rosie (pronounced "On-tee" in that delicious Zambian accent).  Everyone has been really nice and happy to see us.
Later we toured the hospital, which is a short walk down the road.

Today was Ashley's first day back to work at the lab, and my first day at painting.  I started in the chapel, but also got a start on the new lab building and radiology.   Going to hit it hard tomorrow...I am going to do a little more tonight, and then call it a day.

Currently we are on a scheduled power outage from 2:00-10:00 pm, so it makes daily life difficult.  The hospital has a generator, but not here at the house.  Yesterday's power outage was scheduled overnight, so it wasn't as noticeable.   Oh, what we take for granted in the USA...

Having fun, but working hard... my prayer is that all that I do think and say is for His glory, so I will close with

For His Glory,
Rose-Marie

Talk to you tomorrow!
