Entry 7-7/2/08

I didn't get a chance to write yesterday because we were on the truck from June 30th, 6:30pm until July 1st, around 3 pm. The truck is pretty cool although not that comfortable for sleeping. It is mid-sized, like an International type truck, with a long bed which has many compartments and about 18 seats. The roof is metal bars welded together and covered with a large tarp with plastic in a few areas for windows. You can't really see much through the windows because the plastic is think and scratched and stained with dirt. It makes me sort of love this organization even more. They are humble. They use all that they have to the best of their ability. And they don't have much. We are now in a place called Twana Lodge, a place for travellers passing through. It is a camp ground with a main house (where we are), small cabins, and tents. There are a lot of amenities: kitchen, television, computer, pool table, etc. But this is still a city area, Pritoria. This place is flat and dry looking. There are no mountains, just wide open spaces. I met a man here last night named Moses, a Zambian pastor. He is positively the most motivational preacher I have ever encountered. We talked for a few hours and he answered many biblical questions. He was inspiring in his love for God and passion for the Word.
Today, 3 others are flying in, so it is a rest day and I will probably go to the mall with the other girls later. I can't wait for tomorrow morning: We will be leaving for Zambia! I'll finally get to see the "real" Africa!
