A short list so far of reasons I love this place, but will surely be added to as life goes on!
*Now that rainy season is pretty much over, the sunsets are absolutely gorgeous.
*I saw a rainbow the other day that was beautiful.
*The unbelievably beautiful people.
*The way little girls want to be moms and care for their siblings and carry either younger siblings or dolls on their backs with chitenges.
*Precious sounding Bemba and Kaonde praise songs that I love listening to.
*The friendliness and hospitality of people on the street or in homes of friends.
*Chitenges! (the wonderfully bright and colorful designed material used for just about anything you can think of)
*The flexibility and pace of life here, along with the free flowing schedules.
*The love for maize, avocados, and mangoes.
*The belief in prayer and the words they are saying when talking to the Lord.
*The simplicity of life here. I love not being tied to a computer.
*The cutest babies and kids in the world.
*The trees. Enough said.
*The extremely toned legs I’ve developed due to hours upon hours of walking. I won’t tell you my average amount a day. You might faint with exhaustion.
*My new love for Coke.
*Wicker everything. Chairs, baskets, bowls, etc.
*Even if its miserably hot in the day, the mornings and evenings are wonderful.
*Speaking a few Bemba words and hearing my friends crack up at my pronunciation.
*Conversations with friends that leave me super encouraged and in awe about what God is doing in their lives.
*The amount of laughter that occurs when walking through a compound with a “white lady.”
*The amount of laughter that occurs walking just about anywhere due to all the joking and deep friendships.
*The love for music.
