There was some civil unrest today due to some uppity-up's arrest, which meant no going downtown for the missionaries. But we're all fine, as we were warned of the riots before we found ourselves right in the middle. Thank goodness for the church leaders!
The missionaries of the Zambia Lusaka mission have been playing the 'Transfer Shuffle' (similar to the Cupid shuffle) and now we have a new baby shark, along with a pair of new Zone Leaders, and a new sister. We are all excited about the changes being made, but that means that another transfer has come and gone. I'll be starting my 5th transfer, and I'm moving into my "2nd trimester". Yup. I have hit six months!
The branches are planning a youth activity for August, and they're talking about going to Salima. everyone is really excited, as most of the people from the village have never even been up that far. Jacob B was pop-eyed when we told him that he was included in the trip, simply because he's a Deacon! The excitement of the kids here never ceases to amaze me.
I had a cool experience with the priesthood this past week. I had had a really bad cough, one that at one point kept me indoors from weakness, and at another point I couldn't even talk. That evening I asked president P for a blessing, and he promised through the spirit that my body would begin to be healed. In the morning it was only a mild cough and my throat didn't hurt at all! Because of that, I've gained a testimony of the priesthood power.

Let us remember, my friends, that there are certain things we need to do in this life. This life is a time to prepare to meet God, but you really only have to worry about today. "Take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take care of itself." Just do what you can to make yourself good today.
I love you all a lot!
Sister Adams
