Arrival

Hello everyone, we made it to Lukulu in the Sancta Maria mission. On our first full day here we met the parish council through Father Chibesa and Vincent. We got a tour of the whole mission and saw all of the projects we have ahead of us. In the girls dormitory John, Mike, Trent, and Johnathon are putting up new ceilings, fixingup the bunkbed frames, fixing all of the doors, and repairing some of the walls. Coach Dave and his other coaches: Brandon, Alisha, Michelle, Judy, and Lisa, went to the basketball court and received a list of all the basketball applicants that will be attending camp.  He plans to begin working on the court tomorrow and starting camp Monday morning.  Annette, Audrey, and Michelle worked hard to sort all of our donated supplies and Liz, Alexis, and Annette gave several girls their dresses.  For the remainder of the day we had to pleasure of meeting and playing with many of the children from the Sancta Maria mission and plan to see most of them for the remainder of our time here. Monday the Bible camp crew Annette, Alexis, Liz, Audrey will designate the "playtime" to bring christ into their daily lives and be able to share our faith with all of the kids. Tomorrow morning half our our missionaries will be attending mass on the mission while the other half are excited to cross the Zambezi river to attend mass at the outreach parish.  Our stay so far has been very welcoming with great hospitality.  We are looking forward to what the remainder of the trip will bring!
