Zambia

iWell I just typed a very long post and then the internet quit..so I'll recap and write more details later. made it to zambia, Catherine our host while in chingoloa met us at the airport and took us to our hotel. We had to change rooms about three times until we settled and then we went out looking for water but ended up back at the airport because we discovered the airport had stamped ashley and i in incorrectly. So after lots of hassel we discovered there was nothing we could do and we had to get it extended once in chingola. So we went back and got water and then hung out at the hotel until dinner, we met the Matthews for Indian, which was wonderful. TOday we went to exchanged money and went on a quest for visas so we can get across the D.R. congo's border on wednesday (more on that later..) we were basically successful and then we went to a community of christ congregation in town where they welcomed us and then prepared lunch for us. we had our first nshima experience! so far so good :) our cell phone does not work...so we will have to get one in chingoloa (mom that was mostly for you..this internet is bad and i don't want to waste time typing an email...i'll let you know when we have a number you can call but it looks like it will be friday at least unfortunately..) so now we have an easy evening and off to chingola briefly tomorrow.. hope this posts...
