Allison just left for Beira and she won’t be back until May – and I am leaving at the end of the month, Lord willing, and only coming back after the middle of May! It has been so nice to just have someone to have dinner and watch a movie with, or even just each of us hang out in our rooms and have an early night, just like I would when living with my sister. I have a lot of work to do this month and do enjoy my own company, do like the silence and solitude, but I will really miss Allison as well!
It has been quite a busy working week, and next week I need to get into some kind of routine of going out to Woodrows and checking up on the workers there, keeping record of their working hours, etc. It does get me down sometimes how I can plan to just “quickly” go in to the city, check up on things at the bookshop, maybe quickly walk to Shoprite for something, then maybe decide to walk home instead of taking a chapa – and then hours have passed by the time I get home, plus then I don’t particularly feel like working… Going out to Woodrows is even more time-consuming. But that’s part of life here and something I need to make peace with.
The last two meetings with my orphanage girls went so well, praise the Lord! They really wanted to see the flat, so yesterday Victor and Christina brought them over and then went to do other stuff while we had our regular little study. They have so many questions, which leave me feeling “Did I learn anything at seminary?” I find it so hard sometimes to order my thoughts, and do not know my Bible well enough! Luckily the Lord uses even the weakest of instruments. I love it that they’re talking, writing, interacting with the material, the Lord is so good to me!
