It was a busy day today! While in Tala with Pauline (she was getting her hair done) I almost got run over by an ox cart! I’m not used to watching out for those so luckily Pauline pulled me out of the way before the cart ran over my foot! When we were in town Chuck and Gideon went to the Academy to check the progress of the construction. The workers got all the forms ready to pour concrete on Monday for the first floor. After spending the day in Tala we went to the Academy for lunch and to fix the store (storage room)/temporary library. Tarrin will be very happy because we got the dictionary put on the shelf! We already had one student ask about the library and is very excited to check out a book. He will have to wait though until Ruth gets a system in place. Speaking of Ruth, she was feeling sick the past few days and this morning was feeling very bad. So she went to the doctors and was diagnosed with malaria. It is pretty common around here and hopefully the malaria pills we are taking will keep us from getting it. After she got a couple of injections she said she was feeling better already. So please keep Ruth in your prayers for quick healing. The boy who cut his foot is doing much better too. The doctor wants to see him in a couple of days to change the bandages and check when the sutures can come out.
We were talking with Christopher (Mr. Mawinde who stays and works at the Academy) about how much has happened to the school in a short period of time. He is very happy and tells us that many parents and guardians have expressed their joy over the happenings at the school. We have received many gifts from parents, from the chicken to mangoes to bananas. We are very thankful for each and every one of them because they are given out of love and appreciation for what God is doing in all our lives.
