Monday, Lorraine and I went to the market and handed out tracts and talked to the people there. Believe it or not, I was able to catch up on news of some of the people I knew and had not seen yet. Unfortunately, I am not sure that I will have time to see them, but it was good to hear about them. I also bought a lot of small things to bring home. I think I will have a whole suitcase full! I need to watch my spending now 🙂
Allan and Joyce will be glad to know that Lucy Nsthakala is still doing well. I have not seen her, but was told that her husband passed away last year. Her crippled daughter, Priscilla, is doing well. Marco is also doing well. She is still living on her farm toward Dr. Hynd’s place.
Monday afternoon, Lorraine and I went to a Korean’s house to help her practice English. She gave us some Korean tea (I think it might have seaweed in it). She is doing well with her English, but needs the practice. She and her husband are with Child Evangelism Fellowship. They have three children, one who is severly handicapped. It is very difficult for her. The child (21 years old) has been depressed and crying a lot. She cannot express what is troubling her. It is so hard for her mother to watch her be so unhappy. Pray for them.
Tuesday, Lorraine and I were going shopping. I needed to get some money first. I tried the ATM, but it would not accept my code. I tried three different machines at different banks. I tried one too many times and it kept my card! Well, that meant a wait while they retrieved it. After waiting about 45 minutes they had my card. But..they would not give it to me unless I had my passport. I had left it at the house, so had to go back and get it. Finally after another 15 minutes of waiting, signing papers, photo copies of my passport. I got my card. Then came the trips to several banks to try to get money. Finally at three in the afternoon, I had some money. Since we were having company that night, we decided to save the shopping for another day. Next time, I think I will try the Casino. People say it is easier to get money there. They might be right. They do have ATM’s there.
That evening we enjoyed dinner with the Silvanos and the computer guy, Gottfried, from South Africa. It is so nice to visit and spend time with friends. I have loved every minute of our busy time here.
