Well it's 10:50PM and I have a decent internet connection so I thought I'd strike while the iron's hot. Today was a relaxed day. We were supposed to meet with Jacob, but he was delayed in Dar es Salaam, so we just hung out here. At noon we ate lunch and Jacob arrived. Mike and I had a second very good meeting with him. Lots to discuss and think about.
For Thanksgiving dinner, the staff at the LJS fixed duck.
Duck! It was a roasted duck on a platter with carrots, tomatoes, and cucumber garnish around the sides. The duck was served with the obligatory rice (and potato salad for any who wanted it). It was really good. Here I thought I'd be having a weird Thanksgiving meal. It was a really sweet gesture by the staff.
Tonight, Mike, two kids from Wartburg College and I went to Grant's house to watch a movie (Amazing Grace). We all enjoyed the fellowship and the movie.
That's about it. Tomorrow I will visit more villages (and water wells) with Grant, and Mike will go with Herb and Luca to buy and deliver some construction supplies.
Saturday will be more of the same for me (I don't know yet about Mike). Sunday is the consecration (they're estimating 5-hours...). Monday is pack-up and head home.
I don't know if I mentioned that Raymond is home from seminary for the consecration. I spent a good deal of time with him Tuesday, Wednesday, and today. He sends his love to you...
Mark and Mike
