Jona and Kerry in Zambia

What a wonderful and glorious morning it is as I write this, very sunny (as it has been for the last 3 weeks) but birds chirping and the sound of lawn mowers making hay while the sun shines. Unfortunately Kerry does not have the pleasure of writing the blog today as she is currently in England busy and enjoying her time visiting family and various churches there. So the trailer is very quite at the moment. I am well informed that she is enjoying her time there especially the chocolate and KFC!!! AND TIANDI L the best take away in BUDE. So am very jealous as SHOP RIGHT HAS HAD NO EASTER EGGS by the time I got there all sold out.

Although Kerry’s absence is noticeable, I have been very well taken care of here last week I visited the copper mine in Chingola and It was amazing to see so much sulfur (tonnes) and how huge the holes in the ground was and the massive trucks (150 tonnes) and another first I played golf on a beautiful course here in chingola which was once proclaimed one of the best about 20 yrs ago J. Only lost a few balls… don’t worry tiger Woods is safe…. For now. Apart from this been playing squash, risk and the beloved age of empires and gardening. I gave been digging up large parts of the golf course when trying to tee off.

Another highlight is last week Friday me and Jarrett helped at youth group in Musenga and we played lots of games with them. The youth group is for children who live in Musenga and in mainly children of the workers and great place for them to have fun and get some spiritual input. We were playing capture the flag sort of game and I was trying to capture anyone who ventured into our area. This man called ‘UNCLE’ was running at me when he suddenly skidded flat on the floor towards me, realizing my plight I jumped sky high in order to avoid him but I was so shocked. As he is not a spring chicken has 7 children and really did not expect it!!! They had to fill up a bottle with cups of water but before they did that had to spin 10 times around a pick axe (health and safety! What’s that? Not much of that here J) but it was hilarious as most of the time they got more water on themselves than in the bottle.

Just a few things of the many things happening here and looking forward to Kerry and Jane (kerry’s mum) returning in the next few weeks. We are all very excited about the safari that we are going on will be a once in a life time opportunity. Will let you know more about that in the next few blogs.
