We spent most of
the morning knitting with the ladies, which is just what we needed after such a busy few
days! The tailor then came back to the compound and had sewn my dress. He
has a few adjustments to make and then it’ll be done!
We then had a prep meeting for the home care visits we are doing tomorrow. The team of
local volunteers support those in the community who are ill and we will be accompanying them on their rounds.
I spoke at length to one local volunteer who was so passionate about his country and
told me all about the problems facing Zambians, including flooding
and the copper market collapse. I wish I could listen to him talk for 3 hours
every Tuesday morning rather than my current social development lecturer! So much better to hear it from the people whose lives are directly impacted.
I am so
overwhelmed with the love we have in this team. We seem to be growing so close
now and all reserve has been replaced by banter and laughter! I am leading our morning
devotion tomorrow and this closeness has inspired me to explore Romans 12.
After our discussion this morning on the protection of Christ’s love being like
that of an eagle's wing (linked in well to the eagle on the Zambian flag) I hope
tomorrows message can be as useful to the group.
