October 23, 2007

Tuesday started much differently than a normal day.  Monday one of our night guards was supposed to show up after having the weekend off, but he did not show up.  So Quinton took the first shift in staying up and then I met him half way around 2 am to cover the rest of the morning.  I don’t think anything would happen, but we were just being safe.  This led to me sleeping in till around 9 am after I finally got to bed.  On a side note also we use a gas cooker to save on expenses, but for about a week now we have run out and the two service stations we can get gas from have not had any full bottles for this time, so it’s back to the old stove top for us.

Today was pretty easy going, we did a little shopping for groceries and some school supplies.  Finally I think the wet season that was supposed to start in September is finally arriving.  It is annoying enough to not be able to get clothes dry, but not as wet as it is supposed to be.  I have made arrangements to go to Kampala next Monday on the bus with Edward to try and put in applications for work visas and special passes as our tourist visas run out soon.

Today I put up some new photos taken on Saturday, they are at www.davesphotos.destinations.org.au under an album titled Latest.  I included a photo taken of each child on that day and a few extras.

  1. Hi Dave,

    Great catching up with the latest news with your blogs. I know what the rainy season is like mate! Hope it isn’t too bad where you are. October was actually the hotest month in Botswana.

    You guys are doing a great work there. Keep it up. Be encouraged by the progress you see in each little life coming into a loving home.

    God bless you all.

    Love,
    Steve Elliott
