Our time in South Africa was a real blessing, meeting with so many Christian friends and investigating ministry links. It has also been madness here with the world cup - a sea of colour and noise; flags, vuvulezzas, street sellers. Certainly a special time to be in SA!
We have arrived safely in Lusaka and are awaiting our work permit visas. The visit to immigration today located our applications (after some long time!!) - the booklet has not been produced but we have pleaded that this be done quickly so we can drive to Samfya on Thursday. The officer was very helpful and we trust to pick this up on Wednesday afternoon - please pray this comes through quickly so our plans can continue without delay.
There is an issue with our temporary travel documents as on our return via the USA, we will need visas as the US won’t accept the temporary documents without a visa. These are very expensive so we are going to try and get our new New Zealand Passports issued and then couriered up to Samfya. Please pray that this can happen in quick time.
Lusaka is hot in the day and cooler at night - lots of traffic, dirt, smells! We have managed to purchase a printer for use at Samfya - a small laser printer. It pays to shop around as the difference in price was US$100 for a $200 machine! Levy arrives from USA today and so we hope to ctach up with him this evening. Thanks for all your prayers.
