Well, I am giving something new a try. I found this on Word as a Blog post. I don't know how it works, but if it does work it will save me on cutting and pasting plus I hope going out and posting. We'll see.
Anyway, guess what I did today? Yes, I painted some more. We are just starting to put on the second coat of oil base paint on the window and door frames in the class rooms; next will come the café and then the mechanic/carpenter shops. Sounds exciting, huh? The second coat of primer is about complete with our last building and all the buildings really look nice. I think Janet is getting some white semi-gloss (washable) for the café and also for the classrooms. I think she may just leave the primer on the carpenter/mechanic shop, I am not sure. Word is that Jason suggested leaving it white wash because it is going to get dirty anyway; we'll see on that one also.
It is Thursday (6-3) and Theresa and her boys are going to be leaving Sunday so tomorrow they will probably get things all together for their trip back home. It has been good to have them here, especially since Janet has had to be gone these few weeks. Not sure when she will be back to stay longer than a couple days; hopefully this next week. Anyway, I have plenty of work to do, yes, painting.
When we came we were told that the rainy season was over. Wrooonnnggggg! We have had rain some part of the day on about 75-80 percent of the days since we have gotten here. It has been cold and miserable today. I am already tired of the rain.
Today is Monday and Theresa and her sons left yesterday. Janet came to pick them up. While she was here she received a phone call with some bad news. A young girl we knew at EVI drowned a couple days ago in the canal by EVI after going in to rescue her puppy that jumped in. Britney was only 22 years old. Her mother, Cindy, also works at EVI. Please pray for the family for the lost of a loved one. Britney worked on our farm and was a great help. She will be missed in a lot of ways. Cindy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Janet has 8 more nights of meetings left in the evangelistic seminars that is going on at Kibidula and surrounding areas. She says she is hoping for about 25 baptisms out of one of the five churches involved in this series. There has been a great turnout of Non-Adventists showing up and hopefully more interests for baptism will result from the entire series. Anyway, the seed is planted and now the Holy Spirit can water. She is hoping to be home here in Mago come either Sunday or a couple of days after that and she is hoping to be bringing the fundis with her to start the construction we have to do here. We will see what develops.
I wanted to share something again that I read in the Great Controversy: "Those who would share the benefits of the Saviour's mediation should permit nothing to interfere with their duty to perfect holiness in the fear of God. The precious hours, instead of being given to pleasure, to display, or to gain seeking, should be devoted to an earnest, prayerful study of the word of truth. The subject of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment should be clearly understood by the people of God. All need a knowledge for themselves of the position and work of their great High Priest. Otherwise it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is essential at this time or to occupy the position which God designs them to fill. Every individual has a soul to save or to lose. Each has a case pending at the bar of God. Each must meet the great Judge face to face. How important, then, that every mind contemplate often the solemn scene when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened, when, with Daniel, every individual must stand in his lot, at the end of the days." {GC 488.2} Boy, did this talk to me. May we all examine ourselves to see if we are lacking in anything that we can do better. Awesome thought
That is all for now from Mago….
