Trip to Sioma, Zambia

This past week we spent in the home of IMB missionaries, Daniel
and Sky Scott. We had an amazing week! What a blessing from theLord! We worked on learning some Lozi using a method called PILAT. Aunt Sky gave Morgan some piano lessons! We took several boat rides, swam in the Lumbe River, took the boat up river to see Ngonye Falls, sat on the deck overlooking the Zambezi and enjoyed sweet fellowship with a brother and sister in the Lord! Here are a few pictures.


Nathan and Shannon at Ngonye Falls. These falls are horseshoe shaped and are very beautiful. The river actually flows under the rock on on either side of the falls.






Nathan and Shannon climbing down the rocks to get closer to the Falls!!! They had a blast!!






The walk from where we parked the boat to the Falls took us about half an hour. Some of the way was very rocky. Quite an adventure for a 9 year old!!









Both Reece families at the Falls.





Piano lessons with Aunt Sky. Morgan was SO excited! It really gave her a boost to get back into practicing each day. Sky has a degree in piano! What an unexpected blessing from the Lord!






Dinner at Mutewma Lodge with the Johnson Family. Shan is a year older than Morgan and Kayla is a year younger. They also have a daughter, Tammy, who is four. They served us dinner around the campfire. Each table had its own tablecloth, candle and place setting. It was such a fun atmosphere and the fellowship so sweet! You can see more pictures of the lodge at their website

Wow! Beautiful falls, but we were most struck by how tall Nathan has gotten!

We were just talking about you guys (Paul misses training with you, Shannon!) and thought we should check up on how things are going.

Hope you are well.

Much love,
Paul & Jilian

What a blessing to see Morgan playing the piano! Yay! I am praying for you all and I loved seeing the pictures and hearing how God is blessing you.
