Tues.
I had a frustrating day but Alan had a good one so I will focus on his day. He was able to clean out the shed at work and get the wheelchairs up on pallets so if it rains they won’t get wet. That is a good job done. We also had a girl from Australia come by to pick up some wheelchairs for children. She works for the Mango Tree and she was delightful. She is a volunteer here in Tonga who helps with severely handicapped children. It will be a pleasure to work with her and try to get those sweet little ones into wheelchairs.
I had a set back on our water project. The man we sent it to in Salt Lake who was going to help us write it up got it all messed up. I sent him pictures of the new water pump and water lines, along with the men who had installed them. But he wrote it up that they needed to buy a new pump and lay new water lines. Mercy!! Now we have to start all over again.
There was a nice breeze tonight so we went for a walk. It felt good to get out and walk again. It has just been to hot to do that. Sister Wixom, Sister Burton and Elder Pierson are coming tomorrow. They have been power washing the campus and all of our driveways and sidewalks. We are all about to go crazy with the noise. We counted 10 power washers going at the same time as we were walking. No wonder we don’t have any water pressure. They didn’t stop until 10:30 tonight!
