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.

When did Naomi move back to her parent's? Is she going to be able to stay there and get a job?

When are you going back into the studio? I'm so excited to hear the end result!

Of course you'll make great parents - both of you!

What is the Lake House?

So glad to hear you had a good time on your anniversary and it makes me happy to hear of what good friends you have there. (Wightson, especially)

How're the wedding plans coming?
I re-sent the veil. It had to go regular air mail - courier was over $100 - but it should be there by the 14th at the latest (no guarantees, though)

What are you doing with all the photos you are taking? I hope you are saving them to disc or putting them in web storage or something and not just taking them at a small size (you won't be able to print them if you do that)

Sorry for all the questions.

Love you both and miss you, too.

Hey guys,
I can't chat for long as today is a very busy day...and I usually check these at work while I'm on the computer.
Just wanted you to know that we're thinking of you and love you very much. We'll try to give you a call sometime pretty soon.
Love you!
