Hard at Work
We have really been busy and the internet is so slow and far away. It is 5:30 p.m. on Friday right now and we have to hurry. Each and every day here is 12 hours long, there is no variation. We will have to walk about a half mile back to the hotel so we will have to leave here before it starts getting dark. There are no street lights and thugs are prevalent especially after dark.
We have really had a blessed trip and everwhere we have gone and with everything we are trying to do God has gone before us and prepared the way. Today we went to Maua Hospital, which is about an hour and a half away, to meet with a man we only had his name and we found out it was mispelled. Shortly after we got there he walked in and helped us a lot. It is awesome.
Last Sunday we created a real stir in the church where we went. They asked us to greet the people and I held Nanny’s arm as we went up to the platform and put my arm around her waist as we talked and later put my arm around her shoulders in the pew. That stirred up the people since the men usually don’t sit with their wives and never show any affection in public and little in the bedroom. This caused two meetings to discuss marriage issues. Now looks like we will have to teach marriage relations here.
We also met with George the goat man and John from the Bio-intensive farm. They are my buddies and we took a picture together. Monday and Tuesday at the Bridges School Compound the men helped me and we put in 250 feet of water line. It was hard work but they did most of the manual labor. I also had a local plumber helping but I was looking over his shoulder supervising all the way. The men are proud of their effort as none of them have ever done any plumbing before.
There is a group of people here on a mission trip at our hotel and we have enjoyed their company. We have also developed many contacts from their leader. Things are going so much better than we could have dreamed.
