Back to Dodoma
January 28, 2008 by Stephen Day.
Monday, January 28, 2008 – 9:00 am
I would like to apologize for not posting more frequently during the past few weeks but it has been a busy time and I am without a computer right now. Well, I am back at Msalato 15 km outside of Dodoma. Things are still pretty quiet here, but there are more people around now than before I left. While I was in Iringa there was no rain at Msalato but since I have returned it has rained heavily every day. That is very good because there are a lot of crops in this region that would fail otherwise.
As for my computer issues… I have learned that all of my data from my old laptop is intact and retrievable. As for the future, my parents are helping me out with that… I am getting a MacBook Pro. It was ordered last Tuesday and shipped from a factory in Shanghai, China last Thursday. For those of you confused, Apple ships most, if not all, of its products straight from its factories in China. The MacBook Pro should arrive either today or tomorrow at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia (my alma mater) where the Rev. George Okoth will pick it up and bring it with him to Dodoma. George is a professor at St. John’s University, an Anglican university in Dodoma and was until late October a professor at Msalato. George is leaving the US, where he has spent January working on a D. Min., on Wednesday and hopefully will return to Dodoma by Saturday or Sunday. I am eager to get my new computer and get it setup.
While I was in Iringa I took lots of pictures that I am eager to share, but it will likely be a while before I can get them downloaded to my computer, edited, and then uploaded to the internet. I really enjoyed my time at language school — I learned a lot and enjoyed the change in surroundings. I hope to be able to put my new skills to use once things start back up here. I am looking forward to teaching computer skills, church history, and youth ministry.
As for my newsletter for January, it will likely be delayed until next month when I will issue another double edition. But I will post pictures ASAP and let all of you know where you can find them once they are up. Well, I hope that all of you are doing well.
