Well, I have tried to do this post for several days. The Internet is unreliable, slow and unavailable. I am not frustrated just anxious to let all my friends and family know that I am safe and doing well.
I arrived on April 3 in the evening without my checked luggage. I received the checked luggage on Thursday afternoon. I have attended a birthday party, bridal shower and an Easter service. I have used public transportation, removed a centipede from the kitchen floor and been stuck in market traffic for over 1 1/2 hours.
I am working with the individuals who will be doing the renovations on my flat...nothing has been done at this point but I didn't receive the budget and the request for funds before leaving so they couldn't start without money. I should transfer money to them today or tomorrow. They think they will have the work finished in two weeks. The container from USA is not arriving until mid-May so it is not a problem.
The Zambian people have been so helpful to my transition here. They make me feel like one of their family. Matter of fact, I have been given access to the PWC Landrover whenever I want it if I feel brave enough to drive. I'm brave enough but I don't really think they are ready for me yet!
Please note my mobile phone on the blog site. It is correct the number on my prayer cards was printed incorrectly.
I hope to post a more detailed accounting soon. Be patient because TIA (This is Africa)!
