Prayer Request

Melody, Katie and Allison on an oxcart ride.
July 2, 2013        
               Things are back to normal tomorrow after back-to-back Zambian holidays.   Not sure what passes for normal in the bush, but tomorrow should be pretty close to it. Melody and Katie from Texas spent their first full day at NDO.  They even had an oxen cart ride; the amusement here at NDO grows by the day.  Melody and Katie ended their day atop the water tank with Muka Sikutanta and Sikutanta watching the sunset.  How better to end the day in Zambia.
               We have an urgent prayer request for the prayer warriors.  We have an opportunity to extend our stay here in Zambia.  Deb, the agriculturalist for NDO, has delayed her return from the US.  The NDO staff has invited us to stay on for a few more weeks or until Deb returns.  We are praying about it.  One scenario is for me to return on time and Lynne would stay.  This would give Stephen some relief on the animals and the garden.  Another would be for me to extend my stay and for Lynne to stay until Deb returns.  We are seeking what God will have us to do.  He will have to let us know soon so that we can change our flight plans or not.
               Thank you in advance for your prayers.  Only received one vote for the title of the cow invasion blog.  Thank you Tracie!:-)  Her title choice?  “Twas the Night the Cows Came Home.”

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...
