Mubuyu Farms and the Break Down

        As I write this we are at the headquarters of Mubuyu Farms, sitting on the veranda sipping freshly pressed Zambian coffee.  How did we get here?  We were driving from Lusaka to Mapanza today.  As we started to climb Munali Hill in the 4-wheel drive van, the motor began to make a loud clanking and banging sound.  Wes said maybe we were low on oil. He prayed, "Lord if we can just make it over the hill to Mubuyu Farms where we buy coffee, we can check the oil!"   We made it to the main gate, and were able to buy some Zambian coffee grown and roasted by the Lublinkhof family.   Andrew, the farm foreman, rode a motorcycle down to the gate with 5 gallons of oil for us to put in the van.  Soon Jesper, and father William joined us.  It soon became apparent it was beyond just needing oil. We contacted Blu at New Day, and he was on his way with two vehicles to pick us up.  Jesper (pronounced yesper) invited us to lunch at the farmhouse while we waited.
       The most striking part of the house is the Baobab trees.  In the photo below, the tree on the right is estimated to be between 1000-1500 years old.  The youngster on the leftis only 20 years old.
So we are now waiting for our ride to New Day to arrive.
      What was for lunch.  We had fresh-baked bread, risotto, fresh garden salad (grown on the property) and corn-on-the-cob (fresh from the garden).  For desert, fresh roasted and ground Zambian Munali coffee.  Our hostess used a french press to brew the freshly-ground coffee.   What an adventure, and we haven't even gotten to New Day yet.   We continue to covet your prayers.   Prayer the Mubuyu Farms mechanic can fix the van.  Also pray for New Day as the again drill for water later this week.
