Finally Arrived at Amano


We have arrived at Amano Christian School just outside the city of Chingola. We enjoyed a retreat at a 'nice' hotel outside the city we flew into, Lusaka. The first picture shows an image from the retreat where we got to meet many of the other missionaries working in Africa with Liebenzell, mostly Germans.

Yesterday, we drove from the retreat to Chingola and moved into a nice flat (apartment, more or less) where we will live for the next few weeks until our permanent flat is finished attached to the dormitory. We will try to post some pictures of the campus to give a better overall sense in the next few weeks. We are enjoying ourselves and looking forward to when the other teachers and students return from their break. We also travelled into town today to do our grocery shopping and spent 424,000 kwacha. It's nice to be millionaires, haha. Actually it was a little over 100 US Dollars, and things seem to cost very similar to the same items in the states. Anyway, we are about to eat dinner with the German family whose house is adjacent to our temporary flat, so we will head out. There is a picture of the temporary flat on the campus (we are located in the farthest right-hand side of the white wing of the building (on the right) and we will plan on explaining the campus better with some more pictures in another post. (We will add a picture of one of many rather large anthills on campus, and yes it's actually an anthill.)
