Rainy Days

Happy Easter! In the past week it has rained more days than it hasn’t. This is pretty amazing since the rainy season is supposed to be over by now (it started in December). In fact, it has rained for the past five hours or so. This is very good news for Tanzania… the shambas (farms) have been hurting because there has not been much rain this year. Also, most of the electricity in Tanzania is hydroelectric so, rainfall is very important.

In other news, in less than 300 days the United States will have a new president. I don’t mean to get partisan, but that is good news for the US and for the world. Countdown status: 299 days, 10 hours, and 5 minutes.

I have spent the last week and a half grading quizzes, planning the rest of the semester and fixing some computer problems. At the beginning of last week the computers here decided to stop working with the internet, which has caused some problems. I was not able to figure out the origin of the problem until Tuesday of this week. It was the DNS server settings… for the fellow geeks out there. Well, I better get back to work. I would ask for your prayers for the Commission on Ministry and the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia over the next three days - they are meeting and discussing many important things. Also, please pray for Msalato’s students as they return from their short break.

Bye for now.
