Monday morning was an interesting beginning to our term. We start classes on Tuesday and spent Monday morning with last minute preparations and welcoming students. It began however with a power loss at 6:00 am. Power came back on at 12:30 and then went off again around 2:30 and only returned at 10:00 that night. It has been similar the rest of the week. So right now (Thursday afternoon) I am debating about going into town to do email. If it continues like this (and it should, because they had a problem with flotsam that got sucked into the hydro-turbines at the power-station) then just as I get to the internet café we will lose power. They may have it fixed by the end of the week, we all hope so. This is the hottest month of the year here so at least I’ve had power to run my fan at night. As of now (Friday afternoon) it looks like everything is working well, we’ve had power all day. Our water situation isn’t great right now, but maybe if the water board now has electricity it might improve soon. We only got in 100 litres last night and while we still have water for drinking, any other uses are going to have to be scaled back. We might get more in tonight, we pray so.
We have 22 students at last count, 2 from Mozambique who just arrived today. It has been a while since we had any from outside Malawi. I will be teaching the next 2 weeks. Dad is teaching this week and the last week. I will be teaching Romans which marks the start of the cycle I began 2 years ago.
Otherwise things are well here. We are going to be having one of our fellowship’s leaders, Pastor Tucker and his wife, here for a few days in the third week of our term. Hopefully things will be running smoothly while they are here, it isn’t nice having guests if you don’t have water for them to shower etc...
