So today we took all the kids to the water park. They all had sooo much fun. They had an inside play area like Chuck E Cheese and a few different water slides. Leon was so awesome with the kids. There were several kids that were scared to go down so he let them sit in his lap and went down. They had a ton of fun. I will will post pics later. I haven't been able to download them yet.
We did have to say good bye to the kids today. We wont be working with them anymore on our trip. It was super hard and brought many tears to my eyes. One of the boys, named Katongo, gave me a hand written letter today. He had the scripture Jeremiah 29:11 written in it and said it was for his sisters. He meant my daughters, his sisters in Christ. He calls me Mama Lisa and it was signed "Your Son" I know now that I have children in Africa!!!!! He and his friend Lazarus want to come to the states someday and when they do, they will stay with us.
Oh, so much to tell....so little time. I hope to post again soon. We will be on our way to Livingstone on Tuesday, Wed, and Thursday.
Bishop will be coming to our house on Friday to give us a personal marriage counseling session. All 4 of us are really excited for this.

Oh Lisa! I have faces in my memory of those names!! I do miss them! You and Leon are in our prayers.
"Baby" is missing the kids. She keeps coming up to the house and looking for them, meowing and chasing our cats away!! They aren't messing with her!!
Oh poor Baby....she is probably having a hard time. You will enjoy the pics I have taken I am sure.
