I am still Internet-less, and still looking for a new apartment. Once again there was a place I really liked, which then didn’t work out… I may be getting a roommate in a new girl who is coming out to teach at the SIL school, so I am praying about that a lot and trusting the Lord that He has the right place in store for us. It is VERY hot at the moment, so even the simplest tasks, like scheduling to go and see an apartment, is planned as early as possible in the day, because I need to get to work, but also because it gets so hot that I am left with no energy if my day is too full!
Fiel: I was able to send out some more magazines, as well as books for all the graduates of the reading programme. I am, however, waiting anxiously for new books to arrive from Brazil so that I can mail the books for September through to January before I leave for South Africa on the 29th November – I have no idea whether this is going to happen or not! The other day we finally had some radio ads that aired, so that was exciting, but mostly I am feeling frustrated with not getting more done in the way of publicity and progress…
Construction: we have employed about 12 new men who are busy making cement blocks and pouring cement, but the building permit has once again been delayed. This comes after we all got our hopes up when it seemed it would imminently be approved, and now people in government seem to be complicating matters because they don’t want a foreign hospital built. We are perplexed and somewhat discouraged, wanting so much for the work to go forward, as it has a great influence on my plans, those of the Stolks, and of course the Lord’s name!
I have six weeks left before I fly, so if I can maintain reasonable energy, I am hoping to be productive! My final decision and action concerning Internet will go along with whether I find an apartment, so I am plodding along in the meantime…
