See me happy!!!

OK- you can't see me but if the picture is blurry it's because I'M STILL
JUMPING FOR JOY! NEPA (Nigerian Power Co.) went out about 2 hours after the
generator was "commissioned". The radio announced it won't be back for
seven days. So, our clan and the boarding students are smiling big right
now.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed and supported us. This generator plus the
team of electricians coming in two weeks will have this place in great shape
for the future. For the record, it was not a special request to "make the
missionaries comfortable." This is planning for the future needs of the
school, the clinic, the boarding house, and the future missionaries to come
replace us. It is not easy to go without power, but it has been doable,
certainly. Clearly, we are in a better place than the rest of the state as
far as comforts go. Even teams can manage to suffer without power for brief
periods of time. But power is more than comfort in this case. Power means
water, power means food doesn't spoil. It is a real long-term need of the
compound, as we take the responsibility of providing for these sponsored
students and us wimpy expats.
