Salomé’s news from Nampula

The day-to-day of ministry in Nampula, Mozambique

Well, I wanted a quiet weekend and I guess I got it March 14, 2009

After all the happenings of the past week, yesterday was decidedly dull! I hate it when I’ve been really busy and my worklist seems to be as long as my arm – and suddenly I am waiting for people to get back to me, certain things I can’t do for practical reasons (like being unable to meet with Dr Woodrow and do inventory on the same day) and I find myself twiddling my thumbs, yet afraid I’m forgetting about something important. Dr Woodrow got back on Thursday evening, but aside from talking about some of the finances and catching up on a more personal level, we haven’t really talked about work. After a number of perfunctory hours over there I at least got one useful thing done – I was able to take the Landrover to SIL and give a missionary from Beira the books for our pastors on the programme there. Then I just went home, dropped in on Tricia to give her an extra set of keys in case I lock myself out again, and then had an exciting Friday evening of some cleaning and dishes. My plans for today had been cancelled and I was happy for the lack of responsibilities, but I think I’ve had about enough solitude right about now! At least I got quite a lot of stuff sorted out, suddenly I was irritated by all the old bookshop receipt books and things that I’ve somehow accumalated – I think I need to take some of this stuff to the bookshop.
