Today we got to visit the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Zambia. It was a really cool experience for a lot of the team, because it helped us to realize that the LDS Church is the same wherever you go! It was fast Sunday, and it was really neat to be able to listen to some of the Zambian members bear their testimonies. You could really feel the love that they have for their Savior, and you can tell that they have a very close relationship with him.
After Church we got to visit the CRC (Children's Resource Center owned by Mothers Without Borders) for the first time. I was so excited to meet all of the kids who live out there! When we drove up in our big bus, they all walked out and imediately began introducing themselves and shaking our hands. I was so impressed with them from the beginning, because these kids have all been through extremely hard trials, but you can see a light about them and they are still so happy. I felt honored to meet them, I'm very excited to continue to get to know them and learn from them.
Tonight we had our first team meeting, we'll be having them every night and I can tell that they will be very inspiring. We all sit in a circle and say our Aha! moments, or what we learned that day, and afterwards we get the oppurtunity to learn from Kathy (founder of Mothers Without Borders). Today we took turns sharing why we came to Zambia, it was really powerful to here the different things that brought us here. I'm excited to see what we can all bring to the table, and what we can all get from this experience!
