It's that time again... Photo post!


Our leaders from afar came to visit us this week! What a great week it was :)

Professor Leslie, Shelli and I.




We had a dance competition. We broke up into groups of four and  chose a category (movie soundtrack, country, love songs, 2000's or 90's) We chose movie soundtracks and wrote a parody and made up a dance to Make a Man Out of You from Mulan. We won best performance overall! 







Some of our Zambian meals we've been having.



Maui fruit aka Lion King Fruit!





 This is Athea. She has a hut at the market and has made many different things for us out of chitengies that we brought to her. Such an amazing woman.


We celebrated some birthdays last week! Happy birthday Katie and Kristen!



It was National Teacher Celebration Day on October 6th and there was a parade to celebrate!



Alesha, Shannon and I at the parade!

Before clinical on Thursday. Katie and I were in street clothes because we had to change into the hospital's surgical scrubs right before surgery.

Hi all! Good news, I was finally able to transfer my photos from my camera to my computer! In an earlier blog I told you about our visit to Airplane Community School so here are the photos!














Here is us on the way to church this morning!


This sweet girl, Lisa, sat on my lap the entire service.


Until next time!
