So I decided to keep a little log of what I do on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to the end of the month when I get to look back at all the stuff I did - and see really what I'm spending all my time on!
Because nothing seems too blog-worthy today, here's the list of what I did today:
- Fixed the Internet – took me two hours to figure out that the problem was with one of the routers, and all it took then was to reset the router!
- Weekly prayer meeting with all of the staff and translation and literacy teams.
- Read a series of emails and thought about a project that a church wants to fund for a specific language group. Convinced them that a literacy project is just as worthy of funding as a translation project :)
- Worked on a book template with my new colleague, Peter, for the stories that were written in the workshop last week. Ran around to each of 5 offices to bring them a hard copy of the template and explain how to use it for the stories that they've written.
- Tried to make the Satellite phone work in preparation for Wes' trip next week.
- Wrote some more emails asking for help on getting one of the language groups' email working again.
- Checked with one language group about the progress of their ABC books . Discussed options for printing - is there a printing press here? Do we have to send it to a different city? To a different country?!
- Organized Sunday (the woman who helps in our house) to help clean another house on the compound in preparation for a visitor's arrival. Turned off the water in the house after she left to prevent it from being flooded.
- Helped Wes do some photocopying.
- Swept out the computer/photocopier room.
- Made a list of all the bits and pieces that need to get done this week.
- Met with the Minister of Education who somehow thought that something bad had happened to Jackie and came by to bring his condolences. Set him straight on the fact that Jackie is alive and well in the UK. But it was nice that he cared so much about us to come and give condolences... even though he had some wrong information!

my accomoplishments are like crap in comparison to what you did today! if I'd stayed in my pj's longer I might have accomplished more:)
Yeah, well, I somehow don't think anyone would appreciate me running around in my pjs in the office- especially the Minister of Education :) I read about your accomplishments during the day, and I was amazed - honestly, I didn't even manage to make lunch for myself and here you are, feeding and caring for your whole family every single day! That's quite an accomplishment, I'd say!
Ahhh, that is so sweet that the Minister cares about Jackie! Pals eh? I bet he'd care a lot about you too if you visited him in your pajamas... or bikini!
