Update on Water and Funny Story

Update on Water:
Just after putting the post up yesterday asking everyone for prayers, our water came back on. We all did a little dance in the kitchen when water started coming out of the sink. Thank you for your prayers.

Funny Story:
The other day, there was an article in the Daily Mail, a major news publication here in Lusaka. After reading it, we thought we had to share it with you. As you will see by the article, Animism is so prevalent in the culture that it even affects the headline stories here in the newspaper. I literally laughed out loud as I read the story.

Wizard Breaks Into Handymans

"A 80-year-old wizard from Nchelenge broke into Handymans Paradise last night. He was found in the early hours of this morning. Asked why he broke into the place, he responded that he needed a high powered welding machine to weld his flying broomstick and the only place he was sure to find it was at Handymans Paradise. He said he could not wait till morning because he only flies at night hence he had no option. He also said he could have got out on time but was mesmerized by the amount of high quality power tools stocked in Handymans Paradise such as Metabo. The proprietor of Handymans Paradise dropped all the charges against the wizard because he was convinced that the wizard was telling the truth about his shop and he urged everybody to come to Handymans Paradise for durable and high quality power tools. Handymans Paradise is simply a bond between men and hardware."
