When the filling station in Kalomo closed its pumps, our nearest source for diesel was a 30-minute drive away in Choma. With the medical mission approaching, we had to find a better way to fuel all the vehicles that will be needed to transport 200 people into the bush for the clinics. We now have these two 2500-liter tanks across the road from our house. The tanker truck shown above arrived early on Saturday morning to fill the tanks for the first time. Unfortunately, the drivers didn't have a pump to get the diesel from their tanks into ours. The two guys had to sit around all day while they waited for a pump to be sent from Lusaka. Around 5:00 in the afternoon they finally finished their task and went on their way.

I just caught up on your blogs and man y'all have been busy. It's wonderful to have this form of communication to keep up with all that's going on in your life. Sometimes it seems more like the Swiss Family Robinson the way that you have to improvise, but it sounds like you're loving it and God is truely blessing all your efforts. We miss y'all but I'm so glad that you are where you are.
Love,
Denise Todd
