This morning, I woke up at 9:00 A.M. due to being up quite a bit in the night. I had a very unpleasant night, starting with the power going off just before I got my shower. Once the power went off, I turned my battery powered fan on, but it did not do much good. At 1:30 A.M., I had to turn the generator on to keep the freezer and fridge cool. As soon as I got the generator on, I took a cool shower, then tried to get back to sleep. I was able to get a little bit of sleep in before 3:30 A.M. when I had to turn the generator back off. About fifteen minutes or so later, the power came back on!! As soon as it came back on, I turned all my fans on and my air-conditioner.

Missionary on Fire Podcast

Preserving the Legacy of Faithful Missionaries

The Missionary on Fire podcast features interviews with veteran missionaries, classic sermons from the field, and stories of God’s faithfulness across generations. If you love the heart behind these stories, you will love the podcast. New episodes regularly.

Once I woke up, I stayed in my room working on my sermon and stuff until lunch time. For lunch, I had leftover pizza and then went back up to my room. I did not do much besides get my sermon ready. Once it was time for supper, I heated up some leftovers and got ready for church. Once I was ready for church and had everything ready to go, I walked the half mile to the junction and got a taxi ride from there to the church.

The services went well, and we were able to practice our song we are singing Sunday morning for a special. I think it is going to turn out very well. If the Ruckmans are reading this, pretend you did not. 🙂

After the service, I was able to get a ride with the Kenneys back to the house. I am now about to go get cleaned up for the night. Hopefully the power does not go off just before I get in the shower. 🙁
