Lusaka! :)

For the next few days we toured the capital city of Lusaka! I never thought I would say this...but it was kind of nice to get stuck in traffic and to see stop lights! We toured a few of the government building while we were there and we took a driving tour of the buildings which we were not allowed to enter. Marianna and I got one of the biggest rooms at the hotel and all of the rooms had air conditioning and a bath tub! :) We had everyone over to our room for a movie night the first night, which was a lot of fun!
We worked at a Hospital for a few hours, weighing the infants and charting their growth, as well as giving them any vaccines that they needed. We also worked with the pediatric patients, which was really neat. Later that evening we visited Mother Theresa's Hospice, which was one of the greatest opportunities which we have had so far. The male and female wards each sang us songs as we arrived and formed a greeting line, so that we could shake all of their hands. The sisters did such an awesome job of loving their clients and giving them hope even if they knew that their life on this earth was not going to last much longer. I can not describe the feelings that came over me as we entered the Hospice. The feelings are indescribable....you would have to have witnessed the Hospice in order to be able to fully understand what I mean.
On Sunday we drove back to Choma and prepared to wake up early the next morning for a village visit. It was nice having a day off in Lusaka just to hang out and enjoy being in Africa!
