Some sweet images

This is one of the familes that warmly welcomed us as we brought the gospel to them. She has 13 children! When I told her my wife was one of 13 she cried out, "I didn't know white people had that many!" She gave us a gift of ground nuts (peanuts). Everywhere we went, we were warmly welcomed and received.
Here is one of the steel goals going up at the Serenje school. Today a bunch of our guys took these also to Kamena and Teta. We'll go back to all these schools in a few days for an offical opening of the goals - complete with NETS. I told little Caleb that it will be just like FIFA!
Here is one of our teams who went village-to-village and home-to-home. A couple of these guys are actually not Zambian. See if you can spot them.
We think we may have set a new Zambian record (to be verified by Zack and Randy). We had a total of 42 people in our small Hope truck. I was white-knuckled praying that one of the nursing mothers didn't fly out when hitting a bump! Yikes. This was when all the evangelism teams were heading home (plus a few extra passengers):
