This morning we went to visit Darren and Diane's for breakfast. We then stopped by to check on Danforce and his family. They have 8 acres of maize and also are caring for some of Alfred's cattle. We then went to Siachitema Mission. Brian had paid to roof the new laboratory there. They have added some dormitories to house some students who are boarding. They had a program for us. The kids performed a dramatic poem, the choir sang and some of the younger kids performed a traditional dance. We ate lunch with some of them after the program. We met one of the PTA member who is a farmer. He would like to farm some of Alfred's land and he already has a tractor Answered prayer! We then took Brian's pickup out to give to Leonard. As we have come to expect, Leonard's maze is some of the best in the country. The whole family was very excited to receive the pickup. Brian gave Leonard and his son a quick checkout on how to operate the pickup. Then as we were leaving, Brian suggested I give him a little driving lesson. I showed him how to put it in gear. And he hit the gas in reverse and almost backed into a tree before he found the brake! Now I was a little nervous. We turned around in the yard and he almost sideswiped a tree! Then we headed down the trail and he was hugging the right side of the trail and his son and I had to keep "encouraging" him to turn left so we didn't t-bone a tree. It would have been nice to know before the driving lesson, that he didn't have a driver's license! After the driving lesson we headed back to Choma to eat dinner at Stanley and Evelyn's school. Dinner was once again the best meal in all of Zambia. Stanley's sister-in-law showed us the new boarding facility. It was the nicest, cleanest, best smelling dorm, I've ever seen. Stanley's wife is very ill with a brain tumor, so please keep her in your prayers.
