Random Updates

I have a lot of quick things to update you about right now.

Immigration--We went to immigration yesterday to get my stay extended,
but they refused to until it was the last possible day for an
extension, so we went back this morning and they gave me 30 more days.
We have to go back in a couple week's for Rachael's extension, and
then I will have to go for another extension in a month. It is so
silly.

Teacher Strike--The teachers of Zambia have been on strike for about a
month, and the kids began to riot on Tuesday. They tore down school
fences and walls, and broke windows. They have just been walking to
school every day to see if classes will start again. They were told
school should start again on Monday.

Schedule--We met with the pastors of the two congregations and set up
a schedule of activities for us every week. On Sundays we help teach
sunday school, lead a youth activity in the afternoon. Monday and
Tuesday we are free to work on the orphan program. Wednesday we lead a
bible study, Thursday we attend a bible study, and Saturday we attend
a youth group.
