Zambia at last!

We arrived in Zambia this afternoon after spending a very tense 45 minutes waiting for our ride this morning. We did make it to the airport and got checked in but with only minutes to spare. We had a couple of delightful days on the Masai Mara in Kenya enroute. We received word a few minutes ago that the women coming from Luapula for the training did not make it all the way today and will not arrive until tomorrow morning. The ladies from Congo, however, arrived and are now tucked in at the church for the night. We are expecting about 50 people for the training. I was able to confirm with Dr. Martha this evening that the Ministry of Health is indeed planning to provide the instructor for the training. I was prepared to teach as backup but being able to teach without translation is so much better. So classes will begin tomorrow in Chibemba! Just to prove the trip is not all work with no play, the rest of our team is parked in front of one of the few tv's in the neighborhood watching the U.S. and England World Cup came. At the moment the score is all tied up.
