Dear reader, welcome to day 15 in the Zambian wilderness!
Early start this morning with breakfast at 7:30 am for our return to Lusaka after a wonderful rest and relaxation at the Musungwa safari lodge!
Just like the team was running low on fuel, so was the bus! In preparation for our 6 hour drive we made a stop at the petrol station, however this wasn’t your quick ten minute stop at the Sainsbury’s pump. We waited for the Zambian power schedule to work it’s magic and got some fuel after a two hour wait, but spirits were still high. During the long journey Holly B managed to have a wee snooze but woke herself up to her own snore!
Ackim (the best bus driver) had some lit worship tunes to make the journey feel a lot shorter! And of course, we had some westlife bops with fabulous singing from our bus-aoke Queen, Jenny Bell.
After a quick costume change the girls were looking fabulous in their matching chitenges, all ready for dinner at Raphsodys! We wined (juiced) and dined with representatives from CCAP- The Moderator, the General Secretary, and Gift- the minister from our first Sunday morning.
Once we returned to backpackers we had another costume change and our modelling skills made a return with our unique custom made Zambian dresses and shirts. We even had some Zambian paparazzi wanting photos as we were all looking amazing.
Our devotion was lead by Ashley and we reflected on our time in Zambia, exploring how Zambian culture differs from home, what we have learnt about ourselves and what we have learnt about and from God in the past couple of weeks.
We finished the day off with a fun game of Chål’enj!, which involved different challenges for teams to complete. This proved too challenging for Archie, Rachel and Holly B, who had to admit defeated. However it was not quite challenging enough for Ashley, Alice and Phil, who displayed such great skills and were the champions.
After experiencing our last African sunset and the floor in the girls room was finally visible after some frantic packing, we had our last night at Natwange 🌝.
See you all soon 👋.
