Busy, busy, busy! The last few days we have been doing and accomplishing a lot of things.
First we got the Pump guy on the bus from Lusaka, he arrived and installed a new control box. We had to spend time lowering a 50 meter poly pipe back into the ground with the hook ups. Right when he finished it by 8 PM the power went off. So we couldn't test it. I told him to try tomorrow. His bus back comes at 6 AM so he came back to the orphanage at 4 AM. By God's grace the electricity was back! He adjusted a few things and we now have water!
The two baby Orphans (Jenny and Queenie) are now a permanent residence of our place. Amy has been sleeping these few nights in the baby room to help the transitions. She will be making a blog of her experience.
Three guys from South Africa needed a place to stay for 3 days as they see the Luapula river. It was nice to talk and visit with them.
We also got a lady from Mansa who wants to be on our permanent staff so she arrived today.
Rain and storms are occurring daily indicating that the rainy season has arrived!
I got in contact with a guy with a truck that could possibly pick up our walking tractor in Lusaka, I think it will take him 2 trips.
I got a trip tomorrow for 3 days to teach a leadership course to 15 Headmen in Chiefs Kanyembos area. Only 20 kilometers from the Orphanage.
