Well, today we spent on the compound getting everything ready for the Big Party tomorrow for the dedication of the windmill factory here on the compound. Moving tables, chairs and decorating the area for mass at 9am and then the ceremonies. The decorations are very Tanzanian and look great. We finished with blowing up balloons to be hung & hopefully they don't all pop during the night. We should be done by about 3ish but that's Tanzanian time so who knows!
The kids at the school have some plays planned for all the guests and some of the compound workers have a choir so there will be singing. they have beautiful voices.
Ana, Peter and girls arrived safely yesterday and they are all doing great. I'm sure they'll be surprized tomorrow. They get to stay in the new rooms above the factory.
Fr. Tim pointed out to us the other day that our windmill is the first one produced in the new factory!! We feel honoured to be apart of the dedication ceremony tomorrow. There are 350 people expected to be there. It's just a small Tanzanian celebration!!
Everyone here is still doing great and feeling great also.
Keep praying that God's work will be completed.
Blessings,
Anna

ReplyDeleteNot sure if you guys have tried this but if you shrink the images on the computer (you can do it in MS Paint) then they're easier to upload to the internet because they aren't so big.
ReplyDeleteWow! You're installing the first windmill made in Tanzania! That is so exciting.
ReplyDeletePlease give our regards to Ana, Peter, Allie and Nati. I'm sure it will be a wonderful celebration!
Blessings to you all! Savor every moment...
As usual it is odd for us in Canada to not be getting instant communication from you! We hope you are experiencing everything you can while there and will share details and 100's of photos when you return. The blog is great as each person notices different things and relays them in their own way. Thanks for sharing!
