Day 234 - 236 The Musonda Family



On Tuesday I headed back to Lusaka so spend a couple days with Navice’s daughter Mirriam, her husband Jonathon, and their two children Emmanuela and Theo. Navice's youngest daughter Merit is also living with the Musonda's to attend school in Lusaka. Mirriam is a social worker for the government and Jonathon is a Pastor at a Baptist Church in Lusaka and an accountant. His father was the Bishop of the Baptist Church in Zambia for many years, so the two families have known each other for a long time. They have been instrumental in starting the Hope Children's Center by giving a lot of their time to serve on committees and to help Navice. The Musonda's are a very busy family that was gracious enough to spend some time with me as I was the first white person to stay in their home. It was wondeful to get to know them better and again just experience life with a family in Africa! Jonathon and I were also able to spend time creating the vision for the accounting system they want to implement at the center, which I will be working on in the next two weeks.
