Let
me tell you what Malawi is like, 4 days ago our water was turned off do to a
miscommunication. John went Tuesday to the water board downtown Limbe and paid
the bill and the reconnection fee and then arraigned to have it reconnected at
noon that day. He left to go to Nsanje. No water, on Wednesday so I went to the
water board early in the morning to check on why? No water. No answer but was
assured it would be turned on yesterday at 1700. Went to the airport to pick
up Harry and found out after an hour wait he was going to be delayed for 3
hours, well there was nothing to do but wait and that is what Rackson and I
did. Church was to be at 1600 but there was no way to make that as his plane
landed on time (delayed till 1500) but he was over an hour in claiming his bags
and picking them up and meeting us in the parking lot. We needed to stop on the
way home to get some bread, eggs, cheese and what-not so we didn’t get home
till well after 1700. No water! So it was camp showers for all who wanted or
needed. I fit in both categories as I was on my third day of a five day
deodorant pad J up early this morning and
on the phone with Rackson and told him to pick me up at 0800 so we could once
again go visit the nice people at the Limbe water board. I was told that they
came last evening about 1900 but no one answered the knock at the gate and the
monster dogs (his words) would not let them in, no kidding. So he left. After
describing how the bathroom looked he told me he would go right out now now, I
believed him, somebody please hug me. Harry, Jonathan, Rackson and I went to
get my passport stamped which cost me $15.00 more dollars (second time) and
went to brunch which cost me $20.00. We were off to get some gifts for me to
take back to friends in America, that cost me $60.00 and I was ready for the
long dry dusty dirty drive home, Got back to the casa and went straight to the
bathroom and no water, the man had came and turned the water on but after about
15 minutes the water was cut off for the usual reason and with a blessing it
will be on later today. I am going to take a nap, John will be home mid/late
afternoon and I pray we have hot water as I know he has not had a shower in
three days and has been preaching and teaching and presenting the Jesus film at
night down in Tengani (hot dry dust dirty and no water) He will want a nice hot
shower and a meal. This could be an adventure, I’ll let you know.
God’s
blessing on you all. Bro. Chuck the dusty
