Greetings to the Families and Friends of the Z Team!
This is John Hanley (Amy’s husband) giving you a very quick update on the Z Team. ALL the women are safe, healthy and in Mansa for the conference. All their bags did finally arrive.
They have been without internet since leaving South Africa on Tuesday and probably will not have it again until they reach Livingstone on Friday July 11th. The electricity is also unpredictable and frequently just “goes off”. They will do their best to log another entry on either Tuesday, July 8th from an Internet cafe in Mansa or on Friday.
The journey from Lusaka to Mansa was long (just as expected). However, it seems as it was important for the ladies to meet people along the way. So, what might have taken 10 hours took many more. (Amy will give you the details). Look for the story of the British lady’s house and the biting black ant which got in everyone’s pants, while they were visiting on her lawn. The very proper British lady did tell them that “it would be fine if they needed to drop their trousers to brush the ants off”. More on that later.
The ladies were very honored at the conference (and blessed) that they were built their very own “American style” toilet facilities. (In other words, an out-house). It is kept locked so only these special visitors can use it. God even takes care of the little details.
I am not going to try to capture their journey or additional details in this post. I will leave that to the ladies. However, I wanted to let everyone know that they will NOT be traveling into Zimbabwe on their journey to Victoria Falls because of the political unrest in that country. They will still be visiting the Falls but only from the Zambian side.
We will all be keeping them in our prayers for this wonderful and amazing experience. A special thanks to Martie, her iPhone and AT&T which let me share this message with you.
God’s bless the Z Team, their families and friends. We pray for their continued success and safety.
In Him
John
