Good morning.
Another hot and steamy day today. We are waiting for our neighbor to finish her laundry so we can borrow her laundry tub to do ours. Laundry must be done everyday or it builds up and can really wear you down trying to keep up.
Timothy went to his finance/marketing class yesterday. He left at 10:30 am and got home about 7:30 pm. His class runs from 1-4 p m. That is how difficult it is to get around in the traffic or to find a taxi or bus to make your way home.
I stayed at home sorting, sorting, and more sorting. As we have discovered items we have shipped and set them aside, somehow they got repacked and we are not able to locate them. In time, it will all work out.
Little man Luther is a mischevious 3 year old who, when he does something he is not to be doing, looks up at you and just grins from ear to ear when he is corrected. It can annoy me greatly as he knows exactly what he is doing. It can be comical at times, but not always.
Zayzay stopped by yesterday to tell me more about his work as an agricultural specialist. He is helping farmers set up bee hives as the time has come for them to colonize. They will not move during rainy season (who can blame them) but now that it is drying out, they are starting to come together. Some of the farmers who started with a few hives are now wanting to add more. Zayzay will give them the hive, set it up, and give them a bee suit. After they harvest their first crop of honey and sell it to us, we will deduct the cost of the startup from their money. The same is being done with the irrigation system, seeds, fertilizer and pesticides. In a few years time, they will become very productive. We are very postive about the future of these projects. Incidentally, Mozart from UMCOR is working with Zayzay on these sustainable agriculture projects. I am trying to find out if any of the Pine Creek Cluster money has been used for this project.
Koyo finally went back to school today and has not returned to the house this morning. I gave him money for a new uniform shirt so that he would not be put out again. He told me yesterday that he wants to be an electrician when he finishes school. It would be very nice to have an electrician in the family to add to our carpenter and mason. He has taken his responsibility for the seeds very seriously - at least for the past 2 days.
Candy Girl (Jeff's daughter) comes everyday after school and greets me. I try to save her some bread to eat because like any other child she is very hungry. We talk about her day and she plays with Rolf. I want to start working with the flash cards with her on math facts.
My namesake, Annie Seedee, came by on Tuesday to see me after school. She went home telling her mother about Rolf, They both came last night to visit. When she is here, she is very shy but in time I know she will talk to the point I will want her to stop. They ate with us, pumpkin soup (butternut squash) with chicken on rice. Delicious! Rolf really liked it as well and ate his first Liberian food with much relish.
Please continue to pray for Chris. She called today. She needed blood transfusions, but when they tried to give them, they were not able to get the iv going for the transfusion. They have been giving her injections to raise her blood production level. She cannot undergo surgery until she gets built up. The Doctors have run more test and it will be 3 weeks before they have the results. Meanwhile, they are sending her home from the hospital once again. Our fear is that her health has deteriorated to the point that surgery is not going to be possibility and they will make her comfortable. Timothy is beginning to understand and the Doctors were attempting to comfort Chris. It is heartbreaking.
Take care my friends.
Anne and Timothy
