Bumps (or lack of) in the road

If this is your first trip to ZMM then you are indeed blessed.  You are likely to hear the ole-timers speak in wonder and amazement at the quality of the roads.  The tarred road from Livingston to Kalomo is in good shape and the trip from the airport could take as little as a couple of hours.  Our convoys move a little slower than most traffic;-) 

Also we are having a grand opening for the radio station the day before the team arrives, and President Banda's office has contacted us to say he is coming for the event.  As a result the local commissioners decided to grade the road from Kalomo to Namwianga, so this alignment of events has created a very cushy transportation environment for ZMM 2011.

Now having said that . . . the road to Kasukwe is apparently in bad enough condition that there is some question as to whether or not we can make it with the trucks (lorries) and buses, so that trip, if we are able to make it will probably be slow, dusty and tedious.

In any case, it is coming soon. So be in prayer
