Relapse

Brian made it into town on Tuesday, unfortunately it caused a little relapse in his virus. He spent part of yesterday sleeping again, which I know he hates because then he feels useless. What he wouldn't give for a pack of saltines about now! He says nothing tastes good (at least that is what I can print!), but Lucy is making him eat his porridge-she sat by him and wouldn't leave until he ate some.
Zambia has three seasons- the wet/hot, the dry/cold, and the dry/hot. Right now is the dry/hot. It has been around 100 degrees or more for the past few days. I think again to God's wisdom and timing. Had we left as a family when Plan B was in the works (end of September), we would have hit smack into this hot season and had to deal with hot, hot kids.
Brian applied for a post office in Chongwe, has to go in tomorrow to see if we were "approved."
He was unable to find any large propane tanks. He had our 100 lb. one sent away to get new valves and got on the list to rent some 19 kg (41.8 lb) tanks. I am thinking we may need to see about shipping our other 100 lb tank that didn't make it on the container with Gospelink's next container if we can. We need the propane mainly for our small refrigerator, but it will also be nice to have to do occasionally cooking in the gas stove we have and not have to do everything on charcoal. I think diesel fuel right now is Zambia comes out to close to $7 a gallon (I can't remember my litre conversations), so we need bigger propane tanks so we don't need to go in as often to fill them up. And we'd like the spare, so we can take one in when empty, and the other then covers it.
Brian was able to pick up our front doors, which he said the guy did a really nice job on, but it's going to take a bit to get them in as the door jams aren't perfectly plum.
Please keep praying for Brian and Wendell these last 2 days- they'd like to get the doors in and a sink and tub, and then cleaning everything up and locking it up before they leave. They fly out Sunday around 1:30 and we pick them up Monday afternoon at 1:30. Pray for peace that what has been accomplished is what should have been and that Brian especially won't feel like it won't be good enough for when we arrive.
God is good.
