Wednesday morning a little after 5 am Zack and I, and one the workers, Henry, and his daughter headed out to Lusaka. Henry's wife was taken to a hospital yesterday about 2 hours away for emergency surgery. Thankfully she was ok, but I had gone to the hospital when they were getting ready to drive her down yesterday and it was not good. It was great that we were going through that town anyway so he could have a ride.
Well trips to Lusaka are interesting to say the least. First, we hire one of Zack's friends Henrich, to come sit in the back of the Cantor the whole day so that none of the supplies get stolen. Second, you can't just go to one shop to buy supplies you have to drive around, order things, and wait and wait until they are ready. It usually makes for a hassle and we tried to split up to do some things, but that doesn't always work either. Third, we carry a lot of money with us for supplies so it is always a little nerve racking walking around through the streets with that in your pocket.
Another reason we went down to Lusaka on Wednesday morning was because a group from Brookside church was came in on Thursday for 10 days and we met them at the airport to help hall some of their supplies back North. We had planned to leave Lusaka with them that afternoon, but were so delayed getting the supplies we ended staying another night in town and really didn't leave until noon on Friday. I wish I would have taken a picture of the Cantor because it was jam packed of plywood, finished doors, pipes, plants, food, a well, and so many other little things but hopefully we got it all!
