First 24 hours



We’ve been back in Congo for 24 hours now. Here are the stats…

1   Water filter filtering
2   Mosquito net frames hung
3   Children suffering from jetlag
4   Times Dorothy has thrown up
5   Hours of sleep
11 Bouquets of flowers received
13 Pieces of luggage unpacked
18 Hands shaken
24+ Bugs killed in our room last night
1  Very short commute to work!

Praise…The communal electricity system has been wonderful! Fumbled around in the dark trying to help Dorothy last night till I realized, “Wait! I can turn on the lights!”

Prayer…Our water system here is great. However, in honor of our arrival it has stopped functioning perfectly. So, pray we will find the glitch and again have reliable running water in the house.
