Well, wendy arrived on Tuesday, it's been so great having her around.... for the last three days we've been talking non stop, definatly not bored with eachother. We've had alot to catch up on from the past two years. Wendy is a great frined of our, whom we met in YWAM a few years ago.
Again, we were not able to post photo's, sorry. (Mom we are storing all our photo's on the laptop:)
We went on a Sun Set Cruise on the Zambezi river yesterday, it was beautiful, really amazing, on a prettyubig boat, we had drinks (local beer) and food served to us. We sat on the top lervel of the boat, we saw hippo's, crocks, elephant, birds, impalas, water bucks... and a beautiful Sun Set.... all of which are on video now.
Today we went to the victopria falls. I got in as a Zambian, because we had our marriage cert with us. Thankfully, so I got in for 0.50c instead of $15.00. Wendy had to pay though.... Anyway, we took many pictures and had an amazing afternoon at the falls. it was beautiful, of course. We taped some of it as well. Oh, on the wya back form the falls we saw a whole hurd of Elephants on the side fo the road, and one in paticular was VERY close, so we got pictutres and video again. Really awsome!
Livingstone as well has the BEST ice cream in Zed! SOOOO good and cheap, wich is shocking cuz everything else hwere is very expensive beacues it's such a tourist city.
Tonight we're hitting some pubs checking out some of the night scene a bit.
We willo be back in Lusaka on Friday evening in time to pick Gwanire (vinjelu's sister) form the airport on Saturday.

Livingstone etc...
Well we have been traveling around alot!!! Haven't been home for two weeks and still will not be home for another week or so.
Last week we were recording in Lusaka East, very far from home, so we stayed at a friends plcace the whole week. The recording went pretty well, it's hard work... but we managed to record about 6 songs so far. SOem of them need re-recording. They have not been mixed yet by the producer, so there is still alot of work to be done. the quality is okey, but ofcourse it is not the best considering the amount it cost. Most of the music has been re-made ( all the beats and things are different) so it was abit hard to let go of all the beats we had made. But they sound good! We stayed with a friend who used to be very close to me (vinjelu) , he is now in the army so i cannot disclose any more info..except that he gave us the best hospitality yet. He gave up his really nice room and we got to sleep in a confortable bed.
We were also staying about 5 minutes from Naomi's (Joshua's mom) parent's place. So we got to see Naomi almost every day. We even got to baby sit Joshua for a whole day!!! It was fun! Not hard work at all, although Kathryn did most of it!! She was really in the role of mother and stuff. People were staring at this white mom with her black baby. SO it was an experience3, i think we will make great parents .
We will post pictures tomarrow hopefully. Becauser we have been traveling and stuff we haven't had much time to sit and write and wait the two hours to post two photos.... so maybe tomarrow.
TOMARROW- Wendy arrives one of our best best friends, she is coming from Namibia to stay with us untill the end of the month. We are SOOOOOO excited for her coming, I Kathryn havent seen here for 2 hyears... vinj just saw her last year. So thats gonig to be great!
It's going to be nice to be away from the studio for a change...
We will be visiting YWAm for a few days as well... goign to the falls... maybe check out world visions stuff here as well. For njow we are staying with one of vinjelus aunties form his moms side. So it's free accomidation, we wanted to see if we could stay in a lodge for a night for fun... we'll see, we have friends with a lodge and might be able to get in on that connection.
We have been discussing alot of things for when we come bacjk... where we'll live, how it's going to work.. all those things. And honestly feel we knwo less form before we came:) Funny huh.. so we will be praying alot about thia and just seeking God on different things.
Thats that for now. Love ya all..
Oh and our anniversary was nice. We went out for Indian food, went to a big african market, and saw the Lake house (with wightson) it was great fun, we have pictures as well.
