(Katie and Kelli) DUUUUUUDDEEEEEEEE!!! Today was our first "glimpse" into all the different ministries and outreaches such as the two schools (where we will be helping), the Childrens Hospital, and the farm land. First we went to Mapolo school and the welcoming reception was craziness! Once the kids saw us drive by they started chasing after the car, and then at one point when Katie and I turned around (we were sitting in the back) we saw 7 or 8 kids trying to push the car while it was motion! After the visit to the Mapolo school we went to the Mackenzie school, where we will be working with the kids! We were blown away at the poverty surrounding Ndola. Not only that, but we were humbled by the sadness that was present at the Children's hospital. However, to end our day on a good note, we visited the future Northrise Unviersity's construction site where they will be building many more dorms and facilities for future students. What a heart Moffat and Doreen have for the people of Ndola. Kelli and I are truly humbled and blessed to be a part of such a God-driven vision! More pictures will be uploaded soon from our day's adventures. Also, game of the trip....BANANA-GRAMS! Kelli hates it because she can never win and Katie puts up with it because it is Kari's FAVORITE game! Kari, it's all you girl!

So glad your time there has been so fruitful so far! It sounds like the Lord is going to do awesome stuff through your team. The container DID make it, right?

Important message from George Wakeling for Chad (please pass this along): Scott Niedermayer signed with the Anaheim Ducks.

Looking forward to more updates!
