SECOND FULL DAY WITH THE FRENCH'S

Great news has traveled fast to our mission team here in Zambia. Harding has won the state championship in baseball and Sycamore View's own Tyler Hickman scored the winning run! Congrats guys, you have made international news!

Mark spent some time inventoring the storage container from last year's mission. It looks as if there are plenty of cooking supplies.
Glenda is heading up the effort of setting up all the eye glasses here at the French's home.
This morning we sat down with Oliver (the Zambian leader of the mission) and he and Joe went over last minute details concerning transportation, personnel, the container, and other important details.
There are three small building projects going on, including an office for Stella as she has many more responsiblities at the school now. We may help out on those while we are here.
The school has a small library and the staff is looking to expand it. Justin-using his Harding Grad library working experience- gave them ideas and is planning to give ideas later this afternoon as they look for ways to incorporate helpful reading material into the courses. He also had his first experience driving a vehicle from the other side of the car.

Overall things are great. Not too many spiders on the walls in the guestroom. Hope things are going well there!
