Mom and Dad have landed in Zambia and we've had a great 3 days so far.  I finished my class, including being initiated into the Bemba tradition for young women just before they get married.

Had a good time showing my parents the Ministry Center yesterday with all my flowers and gardens. They got to meet Redson, Isaac, and Mr. Daka. Today was lovely at the Saturday Craft Fair. Made a number of merchants happy with our purchases. Dad even got a great deal bargaining by himself. At lunch caught up with Christine. They have learned what "load-shedding" is and met a few of my neighbors.
