We got relaxed Saturday afternoon when we got back from our 4 well morning. On Sunday we went to a joint service with 5 different churches (different denominations!) Anglican, Presbyterian, Lutheran, United Church of Zambia, and another....it was a choir extravaganza! The sermon was on the commandments... Both the Old Testament's 10 and the New's greatest (love God, love your neighbor). It was about follow in the rules and laws. There was lots of laughter from the congregation. Not too much was translated for us... Though we were told that the preacher said that there might be some thieves in the congregation and if they were listening that stealing was wrong.
The other line I really liked was, " be happy, this isn't a funeral", just before the joint choir sang and we all danced!
The service lasted 4 hours (would we ever!?!)
We went for lunch at the castle in Lundazi. It is the largest castle hotel in Africa and is a national monument. Supposedly the queen (of England, I think) stayed there at one point. It overlooks a lake.
Back to the hotel to get ready for another week of well installations! Here we go!

And the castle (if not, will be added later)
