It's 3AM...7PM Minnesota time and I can't sleep. I strained my back a little bit the other day, just lifting some tools into the back of the truck...ouch, please pray for our health and protection in these last days here. Well, I (and my Aussie friend John) have put up ceiling boards in all the rooms, but 2. Tomorrow we will finish with the boards and just have the batons to put on the seams. AND hopefully the windows are coming from Kampala tomorrow also.
The picture is of the face bricks being started which will go all the way around the building up to a 9" band that will run around the entire building also...I will send pics of the finished project and that will explain better than my words. On a light note ...we were at the Tyler's house for dinner the other night, talking about random stuff and Shawn said he saw a poster in a doctors office that read, "my grandmother started running at age 65, she's now 80 and we don't know where she is"...we love to laugh and these days have been precious as we wind down our time here with our friends. Another funny thing happened to Ian Shelburne...after he got his computer stolen from his truck he writes in his watch and pray news letter..."our coworkers received a CD-R in the mail with anonymous written instructions to give to me. It had a “read-me” document saying the writer had bought my computer from someone. He wrote that he was sorry about the theft and wished he could afford to return it. What he did take the time to do was to back up the My Documents files on the hard drive and burn them on to the CD-R that he sent.
What a funny/different place this is...if I was Dorthy in the wizard of OZ I would be saying, "were not in Kansas anymore Toto" All from here, Tom

Okay, that stolen computer story is one of the funniest I've heard. But so like East Africa; Polite corruption.
