Hello everyone. Well, we made it to Zambia and I'm thrilled to share our first story from the field with Laura, Autumn and Lauren.

It took forever to get here. It was special. It was a journey. Traveling for Jesus. So four days later, we finally get to Africa or something like that. And we're here. And today was kind of we go to church. We go to the market. You get your money exchanged, all that kind of stuff. And then we go to the Arise Homes.
