Today I am finally beginning to feel normal again.\u00a0 I had forgotten how difficult it is to fly so many hours and change so many time zones.\u00a0 I have been so tired!\u00a0 I haven’t awakened so many times at night since I had tiny babies around.<\/p>\n
Lorraine is in charge of planning meals and tea for a meeting that TWR is sponsoring next Thursday and Friday.\u00a0 The meetings are to help farmers to use their land in a more conservative, Godly and profitable manner.\u00a0 It is a program that has worked very well in other parts of Africa.\u00a0 Local farmers, missionaries and others are learning this technique in order to teach others a better way of farming.<\/p>\n
So this morning Lorraine had organized a meeting of the TWR ladies (4 of them) to plan the teas and meals.\u00a0 They are planning on around 70 people.\u00a0 We’ll have a lot of potatoes to peel and onions to chop.\u00a0 It was so good to see missionaries I have known for a long time and meet a new one.\u00a0 After the meeting, Lorraine and I went into town and I exchanged some money.\u00a0 I saw a lot of friends there, some that I had not seen in almost 20 years.\u00a0 The surprising thing was that they recognized me.\u00a0 I saw Nelson, Silvanos, Phumzile, Ethel, the lady at the cold storage place where we buy boxes of apples, Corrie, and Debbie.\u00a0 They all remembered Allan and Joyce and asked about the others.<\/p>\n
We also did a little shopping and I was very surprised at the many different brands that are available now.\u00a0 When we first came the choices were very limited, but now the supermarket has nearly as many choices as a small one in the U.S.<\/p>\n
The traffic is much worse and the drivers are more careless than before.\u00a0 There are lots of traffic lights (only two in the whole country before) and people everywhere.\u00a0 And that’s why we’re here is people.\u00a0 They will hear the Gospel preached over the transmitter the men are installing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
