Today we all seemed to have woken up a bit early due to bad sleeping habits. Wewoke up starting at 2am on through 4am and decided to have some coffee and visit. As we started the day, Lynn and Rodger again provided a bed and breakfast atmosphere for us before we started the work for the day. We continued to trackdown the electrical problem from yesterday and remove all items from walls and ceilings to start painting the intern quarters. It was a blessing to work side by side some local Mozambicans and start a working friendship.
Larry seems to be the hero of construction when tracking electrical shorts and finding a bad element in the water heater. Both Lee and Larry have been mostly working with the window and iron working men to beautify the new "abodencia".
I have been working diligently to get laptops and printers working at the mainhouse for Rodger and Lynn. I(George) was also blessed to accompany Rodger topick up a head board for his bed that was build and hand carved by one of the Mozambicans who has done some carpentry for him in the past. Mozambicans areextremely polite and have a great sense of humor in the midst of the surroundings.
It was amazing to see all the smiling people as they walked passed the brick or straw homes without doors. The homes did not normally have windows but there were concrete floors and many per household. As we traveled a few miles off the paved road to a small 10X10 shack; Arsenio lived here, and he covered Rodgers eyes beforerevealing a beautifully hand carved head board, picturing two giraffes amidstsome palm trees. Arsenio was so happy to provide Rodger with his work. It was quite a treat to see how much happiness it brought him to make this for Rodger.
I am looking forward to going to the Christian school later this week to puttogether a computer lab for the Mozambican students.
In greatful and blessing gratitude,George
