Praise God yesterday had gone fairly smooth!
In the last blog post I told you about a frustrating occurrence which became even more frustrating after Bosco met us that evening and told us more of the story….principal saying it wasn’t a work day (funny it was opening day of school and the teachers were there), deputy (vice principal) telling Bosco he must not want the teachers to have lunch because he needed their signatures (with these teachers perhaps it takes them that long to sign). I could see the frustration on Bosco’s face which I didn’t like but on the other hand it was nice to see him understanding and seeing how ridiculous the entire situation was.
Yesterday the boy got his letter signed, met the other “transfer” boy, went to their new school and picked up their admission letters! The other “transfer” boy left this morning for his old school to pick up his transfer letter….praying it goes easier for him than it did with his brother.
Yesterday we also headed into Nairobi for some supplies for the children’s home (the water pump broke so a new one was purchased along with pipes). Normally we anticipate getting one thing accomplished during a trip to Nairobi but this trip we actually got three things done by 2pm! The ease of working with larger companies who know the value of time!
Today there are several things on the agenda….
1) the water guy was supposed to be here at 9am to set the water pump, it’s now 10:30am and still no show…update, he showed up at 11:10am
2) cement was delivered, although it was supposed to be here at 8 but showed up at 9
3) napier grass is being cut and sold (since our cows are still visiting the bull…no luck on that visit so far)
4) and there were other things that have occurred during the day which have been quite frustrating but I have a feeling if I get into it they will sound harsh. I guess I need some cooling down time.
Lord you are the peacemaker and keeper, forgive me for not always living that truth.
PS-however, we did have a cute visitor in the office today
