We have power in our house tonight and we have e-mail. This is a rare event and while both are up I'm giving my best shot at blogging.
Webster is one of our newest sponsored kids and I always tell him I love his surname. I'd like to have the name mandumandu myself! Webster seems like a good pick for the program. When I did a surprise visit to the Kalomo High School library this week Webster was only one of 8 in the library studying. Kalomo High School has about 1200 kids! We'll watch Webster and see how he does. Term 1 of 2010 closes April 9 and the kids will holiday until term 2 in May. The grade 9 and 12's will stay and get extra help for 2 weeks of the holiday in order to prepare for their government exams in November of this year. Government exams are very difficult and take much serious preparation.
Today, we were in Livingstone at the auditors with Shepherd, our general manager and all of the 2009 accounting information. In 2 weeks we'll be told whether we're on track and hopefully get more tips on how to move ahead so that ZRA could be satisfied should they be interested in looking at our books.
Tomorrow, Saturday is when we work alongside our many sponsored kids with their volunteer work! Richard will take a pile of them out to Seven Fountains farm and I'll manage the 25+ kids that will show up here. Lots of fun.
Hold on everyone - Richard bought a cell phone today while in Livingstone. Shepherd was trying to convince him to spend just a bit more, but he doesn't know my husband as well as I do. I told Shepherd that his advice was still good b/c some of the cheapest deals that my thrifty husband has purchased through the years have not always been the best deals. For example - there were haircuts at Discount Als. :) Oh yah, and he gets as a bonus K5000 per month of talk time. Approximately, $1.25. (that made it a real deal for him!)
Glad to hear from anyone! And sorry about our lack of communication.You can even phone us - our cell # is 26 0 0974161812 Be sure to dial the international codes first.

Way to go, Sue! Another fledgling is flying on her own!
I'm so excited to see posts on your blog. I've been hungry for stories!
Thanks for getting that blog up and going again. We love keeping up with your goings on there. I had to laugh about your husband's "thriftiness". It runs in the family...at least with the guys!! It must have been Rich who recommended Discount Al's to Bern, who subsequently took Kresten there...He was NOT impressed!! Ask Kresten about his Discount Al's haircut!! Blessings and continued prayers for your service there.
