Faithfulness

God is faithful each and everyday. He provides my every need.

This morning we woke up at 1:30, everyone! All the guys were up in the room talking about the flight, the room, the girlfriends… then BANG, BANG, BANG “Can you guys shut your mouth!?” It was a very upset Libby banging on the adjoining door. I tried to fall asleep next to Dan, but I couldn’t fall asleep at all. So I went back to my bed and got a couple hours of sleep. Then we woke up at 5:40 to get some breakfast. We had Cornflakes with warm milk. It was surprisingly good. Dan did a Yum Yum peanut butter commercial. We then took a flight to Livingston, Zambia. The airport had one terminal and everybody took the stairs onto the tarmac. This flight I sat next to Libbs and we listened to worship and talked. Then the pilot took us over the Falls, Victoria Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the world. It was amazing. Once in Livingstone we met up with Laura, Derrik and Jack our leaders. Then we went to exchange money. Some of the locals tried to get me to buy a copper bracelet. Then we stopped and had some food. Steers is like a McDonalds but not as good. Then it was about an hour to the base. I was awestruck when I saw and heard the power of the rushing Zambezi River below. Chad and I played some futbol with Derrik and Jack. Then we had a delicious plate of Spaghetti and meat sauce and salad. Then we had a time of prayer and worship. It was awesome to see the Spirit working in all of our lives. Oh earlier I watched, in my opinion, the best sunset in the world. It only took about 10 min, but time seemed to stand still.

Fun Fact: Naida and Karla had never flown before this trip
