Today was a great day of productivity.  Several more spans of wire were installed on the "main" line that will connect the hydro plant to the Hospital Switching Station. Only two spans of wire remain to be installed on this main feeder.  We expect to install those two spans tomorrow which will complete the main feeder to the hospital complex.  After that, we'll turn our attention to other campus improvements (which includes installing about fifteen more poles and stringing wire).  A group operated switch was also installed today immediately adjacent to the hydro plant.

The electricians turned their attention to the hydro station wiring it for interior lights, exterior lights, and receptacles.   They have also been working in the switching station preparing for the installation of two additional circuits.

Today, being Good Friday, many of the National workers celebrated the holiday and did not work with us.  They will return on Monday.

It rains practically every day.  Many nights, it rains the entire night.  But God has been good and we've been able to find productive work even while the rain is falling.

Last evening our team was invited to a "bush" church.  There we were treated like royalty and
shower with gifts.  Its was a very moving evening for each that participated.



A daily occurrence... no several times each day, Deb & Linda pray for the oven to light!
