Please pray!!

Dad is in Biera has not started the trek home because of parts. This may take awhile. At least I can talk to him on the phone. Wish I could call my kids in the US every night! Tuesday I went to the shop with Brundee all day left at 6:30. You wouldn't believe all the traffic and people. Each vehicle is rated for a speed according to its make and capacity. So vehicles can go 60-80 miles an hour unless posted and let me tell you right now these are not the kind of roads to do that on let alone all the grossly overloaded people haulers which come in every make and size flying down the roads with arms and yes legs sticking out of windows and side doors! Coming into the city I saw the most amazing gardens acres of them with all sorts of things growing. So well cared for! And the so called poorer classed were out sweeping their dirt yards with palm branches everything so tidy really beautiful and in striking contrast to the large high rises bulging with people. Always the trees and landscape soften the scenery. And I have never seen so many mango trees just loaded with fruit. The shop is really neat and has a huge grounds also. The day started with worship and a prayer circle. On the way over the welding dept I admired some mangos wondering if they were ripe enough to eat. A couple moments later a man came with 2 fresh washed ones in hand for me so after saying a prayer I peeled and ate them and oh so very good! I helped the ladies Maranatha hires for cooking for the workers haul their garbage out to their surprise and busied myself with a wheelbarrow and rake getting rid of trash and a dead rat by the eating area, read my bible some and two small books then getting really sore and no place to sit, kept Brundee company when I could at his work which was welding windows and doors for the new school. I saw 5 or so varieties of birds, and some pretty skinks one was huge! But never saw one of the illusive’s blue with the bright orange head. Can't wait till I see one of those!
As Brundee was working the mig welder quit. He got out the stick welder and it quit working. He got out another to discover it didn't work either so he went out back and someone had shut off the power hmmm. Then after welding a short time oh no! No more rod, so back to the mig welder and then he ran out of gas! This is a huge warehouse shop. No problem... So he went to the next job the rear ended Toyota pickup to open it up to see what damages it had but someone had welded something on it so he couldn't. Enough to try a guys patience!!
It was quite an entertaining day all in all. As we help tie off the loose ends please pray for our safety here as most of the workers have or will be leaving and we will be up for it alone (with God). Not one speaks English of the guards and I'm continually confused as the face changes so many times I can’t keep up with all the names.
