We have now experienced the heat of Nigeria without A/C. Friday we had intermittent power. When there was power it was ranging from dim to dimmer. The A/C man did not come until after 2 pm on Saturday. Most went to market, Paul stayed here to work on the aministration building. The boys stayed with me and we did all we could to stay cool. Saturday was a lost day for me. Just talking with Ben and Jack, and laying on the floor with my feet up on a chair. The ankles have swollen badly. Haven't had this happen except once on a long plane flight. It must be the heat.
I have to tell you about the administration building. The man hired to put up the pillars in front of the building did such a poor job that when Paul went up late last week to do some leveling on top, the archway came down. So they tore out all the archways and pillars and have to start over. The Wanatchee Team advised Devin that that guy was not good at his work, so they let him go and hired Simeon. Simeon has proven that he was a stickler for level, square etc. Yesterday I found out that after having given Simeon the contract for the next portion of work - he hired the guy that wasn't good to be his helper. Oh my........what to do????
Pastor John said that "the heat is coming". So I guess our winter here is over. Pual's gauge registered 110 degrees yesterday.
It may be possible for us to travel south next weekend to the place where Phyllis is. We will get to see the property and Pual can make some determinations about constructon there. I must talk with Agnes to see if I can rearrange the teacher conferences first.
Bridget wants to give Bassey the day off today, so I will fix lunch. I've made the tuna sandwiches and plan to have pickles, sliced tomatores, chips and some fruit. I hope to get some family pictures today since there is the possibility that I won't be here next Sunday.
The morning service was good. There were about 6-8 new people that attended and committed their lives to the Lord.
It is possible that we may drive into town this afternoon and go to Nostalgia. That will give me time to look at the blog if the internet is up and the boys may get to swim in the pool.
