Tuesday-Feb. 8th - WOW! It takes forever to get anything done here. The new power schedule now is: Every day the power is off 7 and 8 hours alternating. We shall wait and see what happens.
While in town this morning several stops were made. Tim was pleased with what was accomplished.
John just informed us that one of the ladies (Tabu) from the church was taken to the hospital. She is expecting and in labor. Pastor John's wife, Joha, went to the hospital to check on her and took her some food late this afternoon and the doctor had said that maybe tonight she would have the baby. Oh, yes, the room is a large ward and Tabu is sharing the half bed with another woman. The only food that they have is what the family or friends bring to them. I can't imagine that! I am hoping (I think) to get to go visit tomorrow! Oh, to top it off her husband cannot be with her.
The power did come on at 4:00 p.m. as scheduled! The man did not come to take care of getting the wireless hooked up. How I wish Bruce, David, Jim or Bryan were here! :) We are so spoiled having family to fix our computer problems.
It is bedtime and still no baby! Maybe there will be news in the morning.
Wednesday-Feb. 9th - Still no baby!
Tim received word from a friend in Mwanza this morning about a vehicle that he might be interested in. It is a Toyota Rav 4. Then he was told about another vehicle (2005 Prado) that the owner is selling. It is located nearby. He wants to take a look at it also. So there are 2 possibilities. We do however, have bus tickets for Mwanza, leaving tomorrow. (No, Terry, Phil and Michele, we are not going on the train!)
Can you believe the internet people are here to install the wireless router? It will be a blessing if they can get the job done! They have been here for some time and I walked through the room and they really don't look as if they know what they are doing! Maybe I can get some more pictures posted one of these days.
The first water that we had delivered really looked pretty good but the second load looks horrible. It looks like water from a ditch! I hope to get a picture to post. If you haven't seen a picture or been here you can't imagine!
I told you the computer guys didn't look like they knew what they were doing. They said that Tim's router wouldn't work here. I am very sceptical and I think they just wanted to sell one of theirs! :) A friend in Ireland gave Tim the router. They are back now trying to get theirs hooked up. Well, they couldn't even get their router working! They may not know much about computers but one of them wanted to help me with my ironing and he can iron. I almost told him he needed to change his profession. Bill did ask him if he did washing too. They will come again Monday!
We all went to church tonight and still no baby! We are thinking that she probably went to the hospital too early. Joha seems to think that after visiting her.
The men just brought the Prado by and they are looking at it now and it does seem to be in good shape.
The mechanic who has kept it serviced is showing it and it is still under warranty. It is in the right price range and Tim will check on duty free status of the vehicle tomorrow. The trip to Mwanza may be cancelled. More to follow tomorrow.
