As with the first day of school, I woke up excited and ready to go! Unfortunately, my body was not as excited or ready to go. I didn’t feel able to teach in the morning, so I gave my lessons to Mr. Ntchentche and told the Pastor I was going to rest. He said that was good and wanted to again take me to see the doctor at the clinic. I told him I would rest today and see how I felt and maybe go on Thursday (I’m stubborn, I know, I can’t help it sometimes).
It turns out the rest was good for me though. I had planned to greet Kayla and her dad at the airport, but I decided to stay home and relax. I was able to sleep some more in the morning and a shower when I woke up helped me to feel much better. I was also able to help Dorothy get the house ready – making the beds as she cleaned and prepared the food.
A repairman came Tuesday to work on fixing the air conditioner. I believe it got fixed and today he is working on moving it from the dining room to the bedroom. The hospitality of Pastor Nihaka never ceases to amaze me. They may cut it close to the wire time-wise, but he will do anything in his power to make sure someone is comfortable, taken care of and has everything that they need. He is such a blessing to us and all those who benefit from his generosity and giving heart!!
On Thursday morning, the school had an assembly to greet and welcome Rick to Malawi. It was so precious to see all the kids sitting in the hall and excited to see Kayla and her dad. I was also glad to see some of the children who had been absent on Tuesday from class – praise God! J I got some hugs from them as they left the assembly. I even had one girl, Viola, put her hands on her hips and ask me, ‘Where’s your ababa?’, which made me laugh. ‘Ababa’ means father and I told her that my dad is back in America and he wasn’t going to be coming to visit this time.
