Monday and Tuesday

I am going to give you a blog update on the last two days, Monday and Tuesday.

Monday
This morning we went to the bakery to get some fresh bread and we had breakfast. Then we headed down to the church at nine to work inside, doing some tile work and recoating walls. We dug the drain line for the septic tank, in and out of the septic tank. Sort of a short morning , but we interacted with the plumber. We had some of our team members started to feel not feel too well with an upset stomach and nausea, so we had to leave them at home. After some prayer and rest today, they are feeling much better. During the day we taught some of the Gabonese people of the church how to do kitchen tile, and we did more plumbing. In the evening we had an amazing dinner made by the ladies of the church. Fried chicken, a whole fish, and mantioch in three different ways. (We had it fermented, non-fermented, and mashed.)
So it was a good day, a little trying on. We still have no Internet access.


Tuesday
We decided that we would leave Ndjole at noon, so we worked this morning. We finished the septic tank work, covered the line, and finished plumbing the drain- setting the box outside the building. We spent some time bartering with the plumber to how much we were going to pay him for all of the plumbing work, and that went really well. We said goodbye to some really special people, there are some great friends in Ndjole. We stopped at the equator and got some pictures there. We met some funny people there, a guy who hangs out at the equator waiting to get a picture with groups and then asks for money. We got back to Leaberville in good time. We met with a team that is here from Langley, Washington State. So we spent some time getting to know each other- it was an excellent time of prayer and fellowship this evening. So things are good. Tomorrow we will be heading to the orphanage, and we are looking forward to that.
