Nsanti Baptist Church

Another Sunday, another church! We are making the rounds visiting all of the churches from when we used to live in Zambia. Today we headed 2 1/2 hours into the bush to Nsanti. Pastor Robinson is the pastor there...a sweet 70 year old man with white hair :) We love him!! They were SOOOO excited to see us, especially our kids! When we left there, Caedmon was 3 months old, so they were so surprised to see us with 2 extra kids :)

Church went well--the kids pretty much just played in the dirt and chased each other around the church, and I held Cason outside for most of the service. It was only about an hour and a half long, so it wasn't too bad. My kids were SO filthy though..just covered in dirt and mud!

After church, we went to Pastor Robinson's house for a visit and a snack. Our kids had so much fun running around, playing in the chicken coop, and shaking the guava trees for guavas. They fed us "mapopwe", which is roasted maize, my favorite thing ever to eat!! It was a nice visit.

We left and since we were driving right through Mapanza we decided to go to the orphanage land, because I had yet to see it! It was AMAZING. For one thing, it is SO rural...complete bush! I mean, WAY off the beaten path, grass taller than the truck, BUSH. I was shocked. Then, out of nowhere, there was a borehole that we had drilled! I could visualize our house there and a soccer field and lots of kids running around the land one day. I'm so excited!!

All in all, it was a LONG day..left our house at 7:30am and got back at 4pm. Thank goodness for a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for supper!! :)

Looks like bath time for Cason.
