I am late getting the notes written tonight because I forgot that today was Friday and that we have Friday evening Bible study. We had to go to the back of the property to water the cement pillars on the wall that was repaired a couple days ago. The masons mix the cement so dry that it is necessary to water it a couple times a day to make it hard. If it does not get enough water it will crumble. Nazo watered the block this morning. We waited until 4:30 to head to the back field. We not only watered the block but we also watered the roof on the well house. I filled the bucket while Steve pulled it up to the roof. While we were in the back field we rolled up the condemned razor wire, picked up the field fencing they used to secure the opening in the wall and picked up the wooden poles they used to hold up the field fence. We are going to use the poles for firewood the next time we make weaning mix.
When we got back to the mission house Steve said that it was time to go to Bible study. No supper for us. We grabbed our Bibles, flashlights, a coke, a handful of beef jerky, a container of Pringles, a bottle of water and headed out the door. Simeon, Timothy Niligrini’s brother taught the class tonight. He is a young unmarried man who is learning to preach. He did a very good job. Tonight he talked about the pool of Bethesda. The lesson generated some good discussion.
This morning we had to go to the customs office with Divine. The officer said that he had already sent off copies of the customs papers to the main office and that to remake them would be very difficult. He finally agreed to cancel the Child Center’s name from the documents Divine had. One of them is for Divine and the other one will go to the motor vehicle office when Divine actually registers the motorcycle. The officer said there should be no problem if Divine makes it very clear when he does the registration that the motorcycle is his own property. We were satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
When we were out this morning we stopped and picked up the rest of the containers for the diaper rash ointment. This afternoon we made 913 containers of ointment. Hopefully we will get the rest made tomorrow.
Have a good night’s rest.
In His Service,
Steve and Kandie
