Arrival to our home for the next 18 months.

We have now been here a total of 4 days.  This is what we saw as we were brought to our flat by Elder and Sister Skidmore, the office couple.


Their assignment was to keep us awake until night so that we could sleep all night.  They took us to the Mission Home and then out to dinner and finally back to our flat.  They were mostly successful seeing we had been traveling on very little sleep for the past 38 hours.  When we went inside the gate this is what we saw.  Our flat and vehicle are on the left.  Elder and Sister Humphreys live on the right.


Four Sister missionaries live on the far right.  Our day and night guard/gate keeper stays in the shack on the left.  They plant and keep the garden.


The rest of the pictures are from the inside of the flat.
 This is our office.












To the right is our kitchen.  We are pretty safe as you can see the bars on the inside all of the windows.








Below is our dinning area with a nice large table.


Living room.


And where we sleep under a mosquito net.  We have yet to see a mosquito but it is the dry season here.

We are quite spoiled with our living accommodations compared to most of the people of Zambia.  There are a small group who have a lot more.

  3. Looks like you should have company over for dinner. Gardening in Zambia, that sounds fun.
