Water from the roof tank |
Water from the cistern |
Every few days the water in the large water barrels in the guest house bathrooms has to be refilled. Today they were refilled from both the tank on the top of Akasa’s roof and from the cistern in their yard. We both helped Victor, but he did most of the work.
Water delivery to the guesthouse |
Simon left today for Tshombe, flying away in his Wings of Hope plane, to the Catholic Mission where he is based. We may see him again, we don’t know.
The moon is really bright here tonight and it is only half full. There are no city lights to interfere and very few lanterns or other lights. It is also very quiet at night or at least until the men's choir at the UMC Church across the street starts practicing at around 0400 most days of the week.
There is a marked absence of dogs barking or other animals, at least until Jacques' chickens let out their morning calls, but even these seem somewhat subdued compared to the Zim rosters and chickens.
We fly up country early Saturday morning and will not be back until Tuesday afternoon. We will be visiting the three UMC hospitals and attending church at the largest UMC Mission in the Central Conference of the DRC.
