Hey everyone! Sorry I wasn't able to post yesterday, our internet connection was down.
Sunday: Today we went to church for 3 hours! It was a lot of fun and we got to meet a lot of the sponsored children. We gave out jerseys to a lot of the kids. After church we went back to where we are staying and had lunch. After that, we took a road trip to a village in Mapalo, a surrounding community of Ndola. We visited a Habitat village where all of the houses where built by Habitat for Humanity. What was really cool was that all of the kids followed us around and wanted to be our friend. They were all so cute! When we did our round and ended back at the bus, we said goodbye. As the bus started to move the kids all started chasing after us. When they finally stopped, we were able to start the drive back. We got back and had dinner, and then went to bed. It was a really nice day, sunny, and warm.
Monday: Today we started working on the Habitat houses. We were divided into two teams, A and B. Mom and I were on team A, but we left right away to visit a church which is launching a program tomorrow which will really help with the community. We then went back to the build site and helped build it up. We got a lot done today and it looks really good for the first day. We took a lunch break at about 1:30 at an affiliate house nearby. After that, we went back to work until 4:00. We headed back and cleaned up. We ate dinner at 6:30, and we all hung out afterwards.
