Mr. Cohn,
Last summer my wife and I went on a mission trip to Zambia with Carl and Brynn Anderson. We were doing church planting in the small village of Sinankumbi in the southeast corner near Maamba. The Anderson's gave us a Samstone and asked us to put it somewhere in our village.
The site you see in the pictures will someday be the site of the new church we planted. After taking the pictures, we buried the Samstone about where the little boy is standing, which is where the altar will be. The people in the picture are the local church leader and some of the people who will assist in building the church, and the pastor over the RCZ churches in that area, so if it is found during construction, they know what it is and hopefully will keep it safe.
We know this does not help you miss him less, but we wanted you to know he will always be a part of Sinankumbi, Zambia. God bless you and your family. Ron Gentry
