It has been a while since my last blog post because we have no internet out here. It is just as of 2 hours ago that we got internet. So since Sunday I have been out here and what a week it has been.
I try to say that with the least amount of drama as possible.
Sunday morning, Father Joe, Father Livinus and I left Bowe at 6:00 in the morning heading for Kalembe. We stopped in Kasungu and did some shopping before we headed to Kalembe. The rectory was just finished the week before and we had to buy furniture and different appliances to furnish it.
So we did shopping and headed to Kalembe. There is no water here yet, they are working on drilling a well and actually today they found fresh water so hopefully they can begin drilling soon.
Here is the Rectory. The piles of bricks are for the fence being built for the complex.
The rest of the week we spent arranging and re-rearranging the house. The rain came this week and so it has been colder than usual. The downside to all of this was that the bugs really really came out. So the first night there was about 500 bugs in my room which was not fun.
The next few nights it got a lot better.
This is after one of the first nights I was there. I had to cut the sun out because it was too bright. The light painted everything orange.
Other than that I have just been working on the different projects all week. There are a few things we want to change on the church at Kalembe. And there is the Commercial Center at Bowe I am working on. Tomorrow we are having a barbeque to wrap everything up and then on Monday Father Joe and I are leaving at 6:00 in the morning. My flight leaves at 3:30 pm but we are going to make a stop in Bowe to see everyone there before we leave.
This is after a rainstorm. I am standing up on a hill above the rectory.
I am excited to get home and see everyone. I made a request that I eat no chicken or rice while I am home. Other than that I am going to enjoy the sweets the steaks and all my friends and family.
