Today the group woke up to no power and no water. We have had alot of water and power problems lately hopefully they will let up soon. The group is ready for warm showers and consistent electricity. Today at the Haven's I spent the morning with Maureen in Haven 2. She is starting to grow very fond of me. When the group arrives she always seeks me out, and then starts to whine if I don't pay her any attention....Perfect.
I spent time in Haven 1 as well with Cathy and Wilma. I took lots of pictures of the babies because our time is ending soon. I tried my hardest to get Wilma to smile/walk/crawl/anything. Not very successful. But I know she can talk, she talks for other clinicians. We just don't have the connection yet.
For lunch today we had the traditional meal of shema. I really enjoy this meal, and so I ate alot of it. I even went back for seconds. I was also very proud of Chelsea! because she actually tried the shema today and enjoyed it! And went back for seconds : ) So proud.
During the afternoon I went back to Haven 1 and spent time with the little babies there. They are cute and little. Some of them have grown so much since the beginning of the trip. It's been a great experience to watch them grow and develop these past six weeks.
Tonight the power went out from 5:30 to 10:30. This is probably the longest power outage we have had throughout the past six weeks, but I must say, this was the most fun power outage of them all. A small group of us, Ian, Mel, Dara, Kasey, Ashley, Cat and I went up on top of the storage container with sleeping bags and star gazed for 3 hours. There was lots of laughing and picture taking involved. It was probably one of the best nights I have had here in Zambia. God is good. He provides good friends, good fellowship, and a beautiful planet to enjoy. Thank you!
Thank you for all your prayers and support!
