Saturday-Mar.5th - Sunday-Mar. 6th

Saturday-Mar.5^th -  It is dog dipping day!  People take their dogs somewhere to get dipped (treated) for ticks and etc.  Tim and Kim's dogs want to bark at every dog that goes by.

Kim has gone to a ladies meeting.  Faye did not go because it will be in Swahili.  So she is in the kitchen baking a cake.  We will all benefit from that.

Tim did mow part of the yard this afternoon before the rain came.  We have had 2 good rains today.  The air is cool and fresh.  We sure enjoy the weather.

The electric went off about 1:30 p.m.  You never know when it will go off.  Even though you might be right in the middle of preparing a meal it doesn't matter to the electric company.

I have been asked to preach the morning message here in town in the morning.  We may go out to the village next week.  We do pray for our church family and Bro. Vickers at East Richwoods.  We miss our people and are counting the days until our return.

Hail storm struck the village late Friday.  It beat the maize into the ground.  The hail was so big and so much that there was still hail on the ground Saturday morning when John went out there.  Some reports of animals killed.

Sunday-Mar. 6^th -  John, Joha, and Baraka went to the village this morning.  After the message a man was saved.  I preached here in town.  Tim interpreted for me.  It is difficult to maintain your train of thought.  I think it was difficult for both Tim and me.

Two men from Ireland (John and Sam) arrived about 12:30 p.m.  They will be here for two weeks working on the building for a children's home.  They are staying here at Tim and Kim's house.

At 2:00 p.m. Tim, Kim, Faye and I had been invited to dinner at Al and Rose's House.  He is an Indian and she is Tanzanian.  They own the Golden Eagle Hotel and Restaurant.  WOW!  What a meal!  I can't describe all the food but it was delicious.  We enjoyed the food and hospitality.  Faye did make pictures of the food.

Power went off at 6:00 p.m. and came back on about 9:30 p.m.  We were certainly glad it came back on because we sleep under a fan.  The fan keeps the mosquitoes away.
