It's a hot 95 degrees here at New Day as we are at the very beginning of our hot season! We will survive!! :) Everyone is running in a million different directions, but we had plenty of fun on this hot Friday!
My sweet Caedmon...
Chad & Emmanuel
And Justin...our kids love Chad!
I spy the Pied Piper! (aka Papa Ron!)
Gil, who is an artist, has been a tremendous help to Chad with solar work! The kids love his drawings!
Oh ya know, just some legs lying around...
Our sweet Lulu asked Jesus into her heart last Sunday after church!
Pizza night..
John with an 8 year old patient who he made a new eye for!
Protashow spends a lot of time with the Prosthetic Team each year doing translating, driving, and other work!
This is Cason's eye patient! He saw her at a restaurant in Livingstone and said, "Daddy! I saw a lady that needs an eye!" Blu went and talked to her, gave her some transport money, and she made her way to New Day where she was able to have a new eye made for her....she was so grateful!
So power went out, but we still had lights on, thanks to Chad & Gil! Zesco = Electricity. Chadco = Solar!
Gorgeous Thursday sunset..
Suzanne has spent every day working on prosthetic legs (with her 14 year old son Cole) but has gotten to spend a little time with the kids too!
Time for a Friday Field Trip to the Prosthetic Clinic during Computer class to find out how computers are used to make prostheses!
Not sure what to even caption this pic...
The kids love "Mr. John Brinkley!" :)
Katie getting very little breathing room as she sews on a leg strap!
We got there just in time to see this patient walk on his new leg!
And then, in the dead heat of the afternoon, it was time for our monthly birthday party!!
Agness turned 5 on September 7th!
Blue cupcakes with blue icing for Uncle Blu who will turn 35 on September 27th!
Blu had a sore throat, so he requested some help blowing out his candles to avoid blowing germs everywhere!
MUCH needed new (blue) shoes...
Emma LOVED her some blue cake!
Gertrude turned 9 on September 14th!
Misheck turned 11 on September 15th!
Staci's birthday was July 6th, but she missed the New Day Birthday, which is NOT allowed around here!!
Water time! Agness is tiny, but she took off running as fast as she could!
Everyone had eyes for Uncle Blu though...
Uncle Blu & Gertrude getting soaked by Mama Liz!
Group photo op!
Run Misheck!!
Blu "helping" Staci!
Staci decided she is moving her birthday permanently to September due to the hot weather - perfect for water pouring!
And that's a wrap - ready for our weekend of finishing prosthetics & solar (they leave Sunday afternoon), laundry & housecleaning, Kids Club, church, and hopefully a little rest! #9daysuntilvacation!!!

A Day "Off"!
Today is the inauguration of President Lungu in Zambia, so we were given a rare day "off!" Here's a glimpse of what goes on at New Day on a day "off...."
But first, a glimpse of Sunday...Chad & Gil arrived from Bartlett and jet lag hit them hard during church on Sunday morning!!
Mom & Dad taught Sunday School - check out the new church roof!
My Sunday morning breakfast...made by Blu.. :)
A new flag, brought by John Brinkley, goes up!
And back to the day off....
A guy digging a trench hit a water line...
Caedmon hard at work on Cambree's clubhouse door!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and muscle time!
Sweet Jacey at the Ark
Dad & Gil working on shelving units
Chad & Blu trying to dismantle a walker
They needed some muscle...insert Dad... :)
Watching this man receive his new leg and then unwrap the homemade knee wrap he has been using to crawl around was amazing!
I love the "fittings" day and seeing people walk for the first time with their new leg!
3 year old Rhoda got a new leg to help her walk with her club foot! These were her first ever steps!
Meanwhile, the kids are coming over in groups for some jumping time!
So...not much of a day off, but lots of work getting done and amazing things happening around here!
