I am skipping several days forward on this blog because we want to bring you up-to-date on what is happening.\u00a0 Hopefully we’ll have time later to go back and fill in the skipped days.<\/p>\n
I have been asked to give a 10 minute testimony for the 40th anniversary celebrations tomorrow around 11am (about 5am CDT).\u00a0 Today I spent some time editing the draft that has been in process for several days.\u00a0 Your prayers are appreciated.<\/p>\n
Transmitter 1 tripped out several times last night with an RF Unbalance fault on antenna 11. The feedlines and antenna switches were inspected and no obvious problems found.\u00a0 There were some broken wires on the multi-wire connection to the antenna so Mark and Salema worked off the bucket of the front-end loader (about 12 feet in the air), while Graham operated the tractor and I fetched items as needed.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the completed repair made no difference in the RF Unbalance reading.\u00a0 We decided to raise the limit for the RF Unbalance from 5.0 to 5.5 (which is the same as the limit on one of the other transmitters.\u00a0 We’ll see whether this solves the problem.<\/p>\n
Late afternoon, the vehicles arrived with all the things for setting up for the 40th anniversary festivities.\u00a0 Mark and I helped set up the tables and chairs for 70 people.<\/p>\n
This evening, we had two young children eat supper with us while their parents remained at the transmitter site to finish the preparations.\u00a0 Virginia then took the children to their house to get them into bed and stay there until their parents got home.\u00a0 Mark was also away babysitting two little boys at another home while their parents entertained some mission leaders from outside Swaziland.\u00a0 Both of them got back between 8:30 and 9:00pm.<\/p>\n
We should get to bed to get some much needed rest for the big day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
