Are you a professional?

5/29 - 6/1

Friday, we finished with bush cooking. We cooked for the whole base, that's over 40 people. The whole team went into Livingstone to buy the dinner on a shoestring budget of 200,000 kwacha. (That translates into about $60 USD.) The whole AMT group made an amazing chicken stirfry dinner with rice and we even had bread! It was delicious! Note, we cooked everything over an open fire. That was no small task.

I brought my camera with me and got so many questions about whether or not I was a professional photographer! "Andrew, are you a professional photographer..." as I brought out my Nikon D200. So many people thought I was a professional... I humbly replied, "Well I'm an alright photographer, see the pictures for yourself." I went on a photojournalism shoot around Livingstone while everyone purchased the supplies for our feast!

Pastor Vaughn gave a good word of encouragement to the AMTer's. He has been a blessing. When pastor comes in, he serves the purpose of a catalyst. He comes as a fire starter to ignite a passion in the believers.

Saturday was a free day. We had a great day of rest and relaxation. What do you get when you combine three flat beds worth of sand, two poles and a net? Beach volleyball in the bush! We had the first ever Overland Missions PBV Tour. See my pictures to see some of the action!

Sunday we went to Temple of Power in Livingstone. Worship in Africa is more vibrant and a wonderful experience. Everyone must visit a church in Africa where the Holy Spirit is moving. The frevernecy of worship is hard to find anywhere else in the world. Pastor Vaughn was the guest speaker. What a wonderful message he gave about how the Church in Livingstone needs to reach out to the poor and in doing so will be blessed!
After church, everyone went out to eat and went shopping for necessities.

After returning to base it was homework, homework, homework. I finally got caught up from being late. I edited some photos and hit the sack!
