A Typical Day? No Such Thing!

Occasionally, we're asked, "What's your typical day like?"  There is never a "normal, typical day" in the life of most missionaries and definitely, not in ours!  For the past eight weeks, in addition to the steady flow of overseas visitors, we have had a work team of local men carrying out maintenance and renovations to the house which we rent.    

This 70-year old house really feels like home because we have lived here for the past 12 1/2 years.  It was way past time for this maintenance to be carried out.  The entire exterior of the house has been painted, including the front fences, the carport gate and it looks so nice again.   However, the workmen are now on the rooftop pulling up the roofing tins and installing steel brackets around every rafter to make the house "cyclone-proof".  It has turned out to be a very noisy undertaking.  So, while the whirlwind of our daily life continues, we also dealing with whirlwind of noisy hammering above our heads. 

Pray that this work will soon be completed so as to not prolong the disturbance to our home school and the office work that Becky does here at home.  You can see from these pictures that the job they're doing is a BIG one!
