Whew! It’s been quite a week. Ellie Hamby left to go back to the US on Tuesday. She left behind a wonderfully organized plan for the Harding University group that is due to arrive in early September. Unfortunately, there was no way for her to get it all done before she left, so I inherited the to-do list. It’s been a whirlwind of activity to get keys, locks, paint, outlets, and other details taken care of.
Robby Banda also left on Tuesday to spend the fall semester at ACU. Robby, a single dad, has three children and one nephew that he is responsible for. His two daughters are staying with Sheri Sears, and we are now substitute parents for Nathan, age 11, and John, age 18. It’s been a challenge—a fun one—to get back into parenting mode, and Nathan and John are easy to deal with. I just have to remember to keep tabs on them, feed them, and make sure they’re busy doing the right things. I think I can handle it!
Harding University is having a new internet system installed, and that took place this week. We had two engineers here working Tuesday and Wednesday to get the new system up and running. In fact, when the GLOW campers (see previous post) arrived for dinner Wednesday night, we still had some of the internet equipment on the veranda and the engineers working inside. Everything worked out fine, and the engineers even got to enjoy dinner when their work was done.
The good news is that now we have a much faster system with increased bandwidth. The bad news is that it won’t let me get to Blogger to post any more. I’m sure we’ll get that worked out next week, but in the meantime I am e-mailing everything to Sara for her to post from that side of the world.
Another good news/bad news event is that two of the Eric’s House toddlers we love are going home to live with family members. Cynthia and Adrian both spent a couple of nights with us while Sara was here, and we will miss them even though we are happy that they will now have a permanent home.
