They say a picture is worth a thousand words – but our internet connection is so slow that we can not post any pictures. I can type a thousand words before one picture uploads!
We have been making great headway at the Dental Clinic. Jim wrapped up the generator repairs around noon time tuesday. The full service included a bath and wash down of the entire generator building – looks great! Today Jim will begin moving his tools and brain to the Kent Acadamy Genset. The KA unit is much larger and has already been partially dismantled by a local mechanic. Please pray for Jim as he tackles an onsite overhaul on this 3306 CAT engine.

Al & I (Matt) have taken a blank sheet of plywood on the wall in the clinic and transformed it into a blank sheet of plywood with boxes hanging on it – amazing! OK techy guys, I need to keep this real short, not everyone finds transformers and wires very interesting. I can’t understand it!?!? We mounted a Square D NF Panel for the 416/230 volt service coming into the building from the generator. Next we mounted (3) 10kva International Transformers to step the voltage down to 208/120 volts for the American equipment in the clinic. It is a 50hz system. OK, that’s enough of the boring stuff!

Our first job today will be mounting lights in the yard around the Porter’s house in preperation for the Thanksgiving Feast that they will be hosting tomorrow evening. All of the 19 missionaries on campus will be getting together to celebrate how God has provided over the past year. We are really looking forward to being a part of this event.

Hopefully we will be able to get more pictures posted tomorrow. Today is power shedding day here in Miango. The power company takes the town off line every Wednesday in order to share their limited capacity with other areas of the State.

In His Grip,
Al, Jim, & Matt
