Now only 9 days until Jancie and the kids arrive in Chad. Compared to that event, everything else that is going on here seems to pale in comparison.
We had a good week. The solar panels are now firmly in place and we've enjoyed solar power provided electricity for the past couple of days. The system appears to be working quite nicely but I'm still not happy with the performance. Seems like we cannot supply power to the Welcome Center for very long. Certainly not as long as I'd like or as long as I believed we could. So, more work remains on getting that situation worked out.
It is a happy time around here as two of our employees are getting married this month. Marriages, and dating for that matter, are different here than in the States. In both cases, the men live many miles from the fiancées who both actually live in their villages down south (it is an 8 hour plus drive by car) and so they don't see each other very often. Maybe in a later post I will tell you about the other differences between Chadian culture and American culture as it pertains to dating and marriage ceremonies, etc.
For now, have a great day!
