W'apow mu e, 

 

Sammy came over to play with the kids this morning.  They were busy outside all morning.

 

I must have had too much excitement yesterday because I was very tired today. 

 

Our power went off at 7:00 AM and came back on at 6:00 PM.  When we called the electric company to enquire about it, they said that it was load shedding.  But when we asked if it was going to be a daily thing or if there was a schedule, they did not have a clue.  I am hoping that it stays on tomorrow because I need to get some laundry done.  The generator runs the lights, fans, and refrigerator but not the washer or dryer.

Just as our vehicle pulled into the church yard tonight, the power went off at the church.  The transformer for that area must have been damaged by the power going off and on so much.  So, it was another service by candlelight.

 

Nantsew yie!
