Zambia, Vic Falls and lots of driving

May 15: Shashe Mooke to Livingstone
Another full day with:
* lots of driving!
* elephants on the side of the road,
* border crossing between Botswana and Zambia (that included a ferry ride across the mighty Zambesi river ),  and
* visit to an orphanage on the banks of the Zambesi.

Sure we didn't have running water most of the time, but who cares if you have a thick mattres to sleep on and...Internet to stay in touch with our loved ones :)

May 16: Livingstone and Villages
There's no better way to start the day than enjoying a good cup of coffee at Wonderbake for only 3Kwacha (R5 or about half a $)
Two of us drove out to the village for a strategic meeting with one of the key guys in the ministry. (Squeezed in 2 hours of birdwatching :)

After picking up fastfood from 'HungryLion' - Africa's version of KFC - we were off to the mighty VICTORIA FALLS!

Imagine all the superlatives you can think of and multiply that x100. That would not even bring you close to describe this majestic work of God's hands.
Revelations 1:15 speaks of His Voice being like the rush of mighty waters. I think Vic Falls comes pretty close!

May 17: Livingstone to Malawi border
Yesterday we noticed a diesel leak on our trusted Toyota Condor, which was really worrying.
I guess maaany people are covering us in prayer. Within one hour and only R 180 later we were back on track for another full day on the road to the Malawi border.

The next 3 days with our Malawi team are extremely important in many ways.
Please pray that we will be mightily used by God.
