AMT (cont'd)

5/28 & 5/29 - Pastor Vaughn Jarold arrived and spoke in the morning. He spoke on what it takes to be a missionary and submission to authority. He spoke on faith and what it means to live on God's provision and His alone.

In the afternoon, we had third world diseases and bush cooking. There are some pretty crazy diseases out there that I would be alright not having... malaria, yellow fever, tape worms, trypanosomiasis and some pretty crazy other things...

Our bush cooking team has made some pretty good foods. We made a nice stew yesterday and chicken and mushroom sauce t0day. They tasted amazing... all cooked over an open fire with utensils one would only have on an expedition.

I'm still playing catch up with homework... I have to read six chapters of a book and answer questions, complete six reading packets with questions and keep up with other base duties.

Thanks for all of your prayers. Please don't hesitate to call me. See my first post for it. Bless you!

AMT Classes

5/27 - I jumped full in to AMT classes! I have a lot of catch up to do as I arrived two weeks late. Pray that I can get everything in on time.

5/28 - Today everyone preached. We all preached on a different subject. It was a blessing to hear so many different talks! It was refreshing to hear such an overload of insights from the Word. Also, we learned about third world diseases and bush cooking. My group cooked up an amazing chicken and beef stir-fry over noodles. It was some gourmet cooking out in the bush over a fire.

Arrived at Rapid 14, Zambia

5/22 to 5/23 - Left the US on an 8 hour flight to Amsterdam, Nth. then after an hour layover, I took a 10 hour flight to Johannesburg, SA. My bags unfortunately had to spend the night at the Jo'burg airport... because they made me check my bags all the way through to Zambia!

I made it to Zambia with all my bags in check without any problems! Nothing got stolen! Thank God for zip ties!

5/24 - Got acclimated to the base in Zambia. Went into town, changed money, bought a SIM card, a few other things...

My number in Zambia is +26 097-625-9243

5/25 - We went to church at New Life Bible Church for All Nations in Zambia. It was very lively and enjoyable. The message was from Hebrews 11 about having faith. Nothing like a two hour service!
