Yes, the women set up the tents at the campsite while the guys were working!!
Tooth brushing around the borehole at night
The Original Three Stooges :)
10 of the 13 on a game drive at Vic Falls (the other 3 were white water rafting!)
On the way to Mapanza...it took them 3 1/2 hours because they kept having to stop and retie things back on the trailer that were falling off!
The ladies spent a couple of hours prayer walking one morning--it was amazing and so refreshing for me to remind me of WHY God called us to start New Day!
We got the workers' house painted! Zambian men kept coming in to see because they were amazed that women knew how to paint!
The walls on the orphan house going up!
This was the finished product of what the team did in just 4 days!! When they got there, there was only one row of bricks!
Riding on the Big Blue Turtle--the ACTS bus
Mulenga got to see Victoria Falls for the first time and he had a blast!
Max and Mulenga spent a lot of time together this trip

More dusting of bricks--my LEAST favorite job!
Dave at Vic Falls with a fellow "musician"!
The Alvarado guys built the four corners of the orphan house! A Zambian guy kept coming by to check Eric's work and remove his walls so Eric finally found something else to do before he hurt somebody :)
Poor girl loves the mornings about as much as her mama does!
Calem and Brandon building walls--they worked HARD in the hot sun all day on those walls!

Love this pic of Blu and Max!
Typical Blu...
The back side of our house--looks so good!!
I wish I had more pics of more people on the team, but alas, my camera has disappeared!! We are so grateful that people would give up time and money to come to Zambia to help us get New Day up and running!! Thanks everyone!! We will treasure your friendships and remember this past week forever!

I go away for awhile and you guys get a TON knocked out. I hear that Rob is putting a new team together to finish your house in a few months. I wish we could return.
I also hear that you have a care package leaving soon :)
Not to spread rumors :)
Anything you need in it? Besides the belated b-day gifts for Caedmon?
