Above: Kimber & Me Just Chillin To Some TunesBelow: Me & Justin
Paul & Pharaoh Showing Some Muscle
The girl standing beside me is Kazoba. She received Christ while I was in Zambia ;) Go God!
Justin sleeping on the way to Peteake. HA! CAUGHT YA!
Justin making fun of Janet. Janet was usually asleep - this lady was rarely ever awake.
This is the shower we used while camping. You would have to draw your own water from the well - and then pour it into the silver bucket shown. Next you would use a rope to pull the bucket up and then it had like a facet attached and you would turn it whenever you wanted water. Yeah fun stuff! My Marine would be proud!
Me after a shower. Lets just say - you don't really care what you look like while in the bush - and "outfits" become quite interesting when your washing all of your clothes by hand. LOL
MEXICAN NIGHT - This was good eats! Kimber and I both went back for second helpings!
Pictured Below: Moe, Me & Roe- Ohh how I miss these guys! These two brothers were alot of fun. Moe liked to tell stories and do impersonations of people. And Pharaoh was a hard worker and enjoyed showing off by lifting weights ;)
Me holding a snake - that Kimber and I discovered the night before on our way to the toilet. We thought it was a black mamba - but its rightful name is a cape snake. DAD THIS PICTURE IS FOR YOU. THOUGHT YOU'D BE PROUD!
The following pictures were taken while Kimber and I stayed with a local Zambian family.
This family grew ground nuts - and we helped them shell the nuts. The children helped also. Eliz, Jude and Gift put the peanut shells on their ears to make earrings. GOOD TIMES. I love these girls!
This is the home Kimber and I stayed in for three nights. ( MICE INCLUDED)
This little guy is called Vincent. His daddy also referred to him as Mr.Trouble - Lets just say he is a typical two-year-old boy. ..That likes to get into whatever he can. He was very entertaining kid and brought much laughter to me during my short stay with his family.
Memory and I are watching Essna cook outside the "kitchen" because my eyes couldn't take the smoke. Essna is a pretty AMAZING person. She works soooo hard - I pray that I will never forget this lady and her kind heart. She was very humble and hospitable.
This is one of my most fondest memories of Zambia. Here I am teaching the children how to play tic-tac-toe in the dirt with a stick. Ohh how they loved the game! One boy named Jacob caught onto the game very fast and liked to play me for a "challenge" ;)
The girls trying to teach me hand games. Kimber picked these up alot faster than me.
Essna giving Mr.Trouble a bath. PRECIOUS
I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!
This is E-liz. She is the firstborn child of Samuel and Essna. She loved getting attention from me and she also loved to dance. At times I could look over at her and she would be bobbing her head or shaking her hips ;) She had sooo much joy within and she definitely was not afraid to express that on the outside.
A very BIG spider - that Justin thought was going to attack me. It didn't in case you were wondering.
My Friend Moe

WELCOME BACK, JENNA!!! We missed you! Thanks for sharing your pictures -- we look forward to a story or two once you settle back in (yes, we're greedy). Snakes and spiders -- what fun! You're surely stronger. Love your beautiful smile and encouraging words! XOXO the millenders
Girl!!!! I was so glad to hear that you were home safe and sound. I've been missing your updates and this one was worth the wait. I'm so glad you had Kimber with you, it looks like you had a great fun together. I miss you!! And I agree with the Millenders -more stories, more stories, more stories...
I'm particularly interested in stories about Roe and Moe. ;-)
