Mishek
     We are down to 22 days before we depart for Mapanza, Zambia. Those of you who were praying for Mishek who was in the hospital will be glad to know that he is back at New Day.  Not completely well but on the mend praise the LORD.  You gotta love that smile.
     Lynne is finally feeling better after a week and a half of sinus problems; at times she was bed-ridden.   She is up, working in her garden, milking Millie and on the mend also praise the LORD.  She leaves next Thursday for a week of camping in the Smokey Mountains with her parents.  This is an annual time-away with her parents.  I have started to organize in my mind what I need to pack for Zambia.  We will begin to organize in earnest after she returns from the Smokeys.  I still have two weeks of school left that occupies my mind.
     There is a Rosemont Zambia team meeting this Sunday at 5 PM at "Handy" Randy's home.  More details and preparations.   Excitement is building for the team coming to Zambia the 3rd week of June as many people are being blessed with funding for their mission trip.  Still working out details.  Please keep us and the team in your prayers.

Ministering in the Market

     The Rosemont Team is airborne as far as we know.  Lynne and I were walking down the street in Livingstone and heard a jet takeoff.  That is not a very common occurrence here, so it must have been them.  They were tired after a long week of ministry at NDO and ready to get home.  We are still in Livingstone becuase . . . the van is now broken.  Sound familiar?  It was the bus at the beginning of our adventure here.  We have checked into the Ngolide Lodge with Wes and Laurie awaiting the repair of the bus.      This morning we went to immigration to get an extension on our visa so we can legally stay until our departure on July 11.  We visited the market that the team visited Monday.  Wes and Laurie know some of the vendors there, and Lynne and I were hoping to buy some African greeting cards with art on the front.  Well, after spending more Kwacha, we found Wes chatting with two gentlemen....

Bailee Wilson Ellen Taylor      One more day of school with students.  Two more post-planning day next week and this year is in the bag.   Had the privilege of taking a picture with two of my favorite students.  I was honored that they asked if they could take a picture with me.  Congratulations Taylor and Bailee on moving up to Troup!       The odyssey of getting a Yellow Fever shot came to fruition today. Apparently the Rosemont Zambia Mission Team has placed an undue burden on the Yellow Fever serum supply.  So the die is cast, preparations (except packing) are complete and we are ready for an adventure.  Rosemont Baptist Church will be commissioning  Lynne and I this Sunday, as well as, Alaska Missions members. You might remember that our daughter Maribeth is wrangling at Latigo Dude Ranch in Kremmling, Colorado.  Her photo is at right.  She seems so natural in her cowgirl duds and sitting atop ...

What are you wearing????

Fortunately we are required by law to wear clothes when we are out in public.  In the winter time you can freeze to death if you are not properly clothed.  Even in the summer time we dress to be comfortable and cool.  I think some people are such slaves to fashion that they will wear anything regardless of how comfortable it is or how offensive it may be.  If is say, “those aren’t pants!”, you know I am talking about yoga pants. Most people put a fair amount of thought into what they wear.  During the school year I pick out my clothes the night before so that I can shower and dress quickly in the morning to get to the car rider line at school.  I choose clothes that “go together” and are comfortable.  If they aren’t comfortable, it will be a very long day. Some Christians make a big deal about clothing and even cite some Bible verses to support their stand on clothing.  However most of us skip over the most direct referen...
