Alvarado Team!

Our home church where we were for 4 years before coming to New Day is here on a mission trip!! It is awesome to see some of our former youth and youth leaders here in Zambia! I keep saying, "It's so weird to see your faces in my house!" Team gets ready to leave the church for the DFW airport!

Team arrives in Zambia to some HEAT! The day they got here was the hottest day we've had since October!

Several of the team members had their first experience milking a cow :) Good job Ashlee!

Brandi cracked me up milking in her nice church dress!

Kailey was a pro!

Cassie's face is priceless! She didn't last very long!

Blu & Debbie show them how it's done :)

Laura's words went something like "Not one fiber of my being has any desire whatsoever to milk a cow..but I'll carry the milk!"

Aaron gives Kelitah a boost as he checks out our new library that FBC Alvarado built!

Ashlee gets some love from Christina in church

Tyler enjoyed dancing in church :)

Time for New Day birthdays!! Cynthia turned 10 yesterday! And Elizabeth will be 31 on Wednedsay!

Phillip turned 6 on Friday - he's very serious :)

Tyler and Kenny will have birthdays on the 6th and 7th, so we included them in our celebration!

I don't think they knew about our water pouring tradition though! ;)

SPLASH!

Pour Tyler got drenched!

Blu pouring water into Phillip's pockets!

Ashlee, Brittany, & Brandi taught Sunday School for the kids at church

Wes & Laurie sent a letter & Christmas gifts with the team - here Darbi is reading the letter to everyone! The kids AND adults LOVED their gifts!

My namesake, Baby Darbi, came to church!

I know these aren't pics of everyone on the team, but I'll update more as the week goes on!
