Saturday-Feb. 12th

Saturday-Feb. 12th -  Tim and I went by the Toyota repair shop.  The owner is the man who is trying to help Tim with a vehicle.  He has been the person who has serviced the Prado that Tim is interested in.  Because of the duty and taxes required it looked hopeless.  However, when we went by and Tim made an offer, the man seemed to think there would be “no problem”.  He isn't the owner of the car but is helping the owner sell it.  He is supposed to call Tim on Tuesday to let him know if the offer is accepted.

At 6:00 p.m. we all went to Mama Shani's for supper.  We sat out in the yard and drank sodas until dark.  Then we went inside where it was dark as pitch.  Yes, you guessed it – no power.  Soon a lamp was lit and you could almost see across the room.  Mama Shani poured water over our hands to wash but nothing to dry them with.  After prayer we ate a meal of chicken, boiled potatoes, rice, beef, pineapple and bananas.  Had a good time of fellowship.

Sunday-Feb 13th -  We went to church here in town.  Tim preached and one woman came forward to pray.  She hadn't been to church in some time.  Bro. John preached out in the village.  Two men were baptized.  The evening service was over sooner than usual because it looked like it was going to rain and all of the people either walk or ride bicycles.  Not only would the road become very muddy but folks would have gotten soaked.  As it turned out it did not rain.

As we arrived home there was no power.  But we still had popcorn and played scrabble until power was restored about 10:00 p.m.  After checking email it was off to bed.

P.S.  This is Faye - Tim is leader and ahead of me by 4 games now.  Think I will stop counting! :)  I must have just had beginners luck!
