We got a package from our kids which was really exciting!  They mailed it March 24 and it arrived at the Kaimosi post office April 7.  We actually got the package May 4.  It took 2 weeks to go half way around the world, and 4 weeks to go the last 1/2 mile to us.  Go figure.



When we had the last violent storm, a cypress tree blew down on our electric wires.  Several other trees in the area also landed on wires and we were without electricity for about a day and a half.  That makes it impossible for us to do any welding.  It also means everything in our freezer thawed.  So we have been eating lots of meat.  Today was the first day we had electricity again and it did not rain until 6:30 pm so we got in a full day of work.



Not wanting to waste anything, the offending cypress tree became new clothes line poles at the women's dorm.



We put the first truss up using just step ladders.  They are quite heavy, so we built some scaffolding out of blue gum poles we cut in the forest.
