Happy Birthday, Ian

Today, Ian had his 14th birthday here in Zambia. It was a regular work day, but Ba Leonard made Ian a great cake for lunch. He decorated it and even had candles for us to use. The workers all came when we sang Happy Birthday. It was nice.

After work today, we headed out to Jordan’s Rock to celebrate. There were a few glitches getting there. David went back to get Ian’s birthday present and missed connecting with Ian. Two of the students also missed the departure time and were left behind. I went back to get them all and got separated from Ian because he, David and the students caught a ride with Gift out to Jordan’s Rock. I made it there just in time for the photo and the sunset. We cooked hotdogs over a fire, and finished with smores because Reagan brought the ingredients with her on Tuesday. It was a Great evening. David gave Ian a shirt he had made from a chintenge he had purchased on one of their excursions.
In this posting, I have photos of David and Ian, Ellie Hamby, Beckie carrying a mat the African way, and Ian with his shirt from David.
