Update on Charity

Hi everyone,

We have a story to tell, and it is one that may only come from Zambia. As many of you know, we had a rather interesting time in Livingstone, and it only got a little more interesting. After waking up early Sunday morning for a day in the game park (which was incredible) we head over to the market. We did a little shopping but wanted to get back to Choma at a decent hour to visit Charity's family for mourning. While Erma was trying to reach into the truck, she slipped and fell backwards onto the dirt road. There was some blood, confusion, tears, prayers and frozen corn to help with the process. Needless to say, we did get pushed back a little in our schedule. Unfortunalty, we had plans for dinner and did not return to Choma with enough time to stop into Charity's home. At our dinner, we were told that Charity had not died, and that there was confusion about who exaxtly passed on.

As of now, Charity is alive and well and our prayers go to the other family in mourning. Erma spent the evening in a "hospital" for some check up and returned this morning in good condition and high spirits. We made the long journey to Lusaka today joyous to come home but sad to leave. As a team we will find closure to our work as our plane takes off at 8:50 am Tuesday and we touch down in Newark at 10:35 Tuesday night!

See you all then and keep us in your prayers as we travel....(20 hours of fun)
