Good evening on this July 3^rd. We have a saying around here… TIZ (this is Zambia) and it is said when your plans have been delayed or canceled. Well, the Friday ladies meeting was cancelled for the second Friday in a row due to funerals. The death rate here is very high, so the people are always going to funerals. TIZ. Then we were supposed to teach the Encounter kids the signs for “Mighty to Save” today and there were many other things on the program so we did not get to. TIZ.

BUT, the Lord has blessed us with a wonderful weekend so far. We have worshipped with the Encounter kids and had a chance to get to know them. Jared handed out some hacky sacks today and I will let him tell you how that went and the kids responses!! Praise the Lord and thank you all for your prayers for the hacky sack ministry! Please continue to pray that the Lord will bless and work in the lives of the teens as they seek to serve Him!

Tomorrow, Lord willing we will worship in the deep deep deep bush at Pastor Luke’s church. We are so excited as this will be the most primitive church we have visited yet. We are anticipating a word from God and a blessed time with the nationals.

We are very blessed to be here, we are learning so much and we are so thankful to God for allowing us to be here! Miss you all so much see you soon!

Love, Susie and Jared
