Thanks to Trisha for that great ‘quote of the day.’
We are called ‘Musungu.’ It’s generally a term for white ‘expats’ from European countries that now live in Zambia, and has been extended to Americans.
It translates directly to ‘peeled one.’
This was explained to us at our orientation today with Ba Chanda and Ed and Linda Miller, our hosts - missionaries who have been living in Zambia for 29 years. They are from Texas originally, and as Ba Linda says, you won’t get iced tea anywhere in Kitwe, but ‘you’ll get it at my house!’ (We are looking forward to it)

If you're in Zambia and read this let Sonia know that she has emails in our erols account under the my folders tab.
Everybody wants to hear what Faith and Billie think so they would like a public blog from them.
Hi Don, Dena and Nat,
A bunch of us have been trying to converse on the blog, but for some reason it doesn’t work. We can read all of the updates, but we can’t send on the blog…So I’m hoping this gets to you. I’ll keep trying. In the mean time, it sounds really cool. The pictures are great as well. I saw you Don looking over the crowd of people. How’s the recorder music coming? I’ll bet it’s awesome. REALLY. When you get back to town you’ve got to do a special number because by that time you should be experts. I’ve also been following the weather. Seems like the weather is about the same as here in Phoenix…high 90’s. We had just a bit of rain, but not much. How are you feeling? We are remembering. Keep us up to date. God bless.
Bob and Janet Lehman
