After the 2 services we went around to Bill and Marcie's house (they were the ones who helped us find Hudson Litania). We all had a relaxing afternoon. The younger guys played many games of crocket on the lawn with their son Aiden.
Bill and Marcie are full of stories and have been in Zambia for 10 years. They both know alot about the culture of Zambians and how the continued extramatital relationships continue to spread HIV. They have library in a small room that school kids and others come to use reference books for exam time. They also run 24 hour "drop in centre for their Nephews - ( boys and yuong men who are on the streets)
This is a link to a video they took of an elephant during a drive to Johannesburg - you have to watch to the end

Marcie also told us of the reason why we have to use a dryer or iron all of the washing. There is an insect that lives near mango trees and it lays its eggs on the washing on the line. If you dont iron or use the dryer, the eggs will hatch and yuo will get a bite like a mosquito, but 24 hours latter it will feel like you are being stabbed, then yuo have to sweeze the bite an the lavae or maggot as Marcie described it will come out - very painfully.
