Started Bad, Ended Good!

We spent the last 2 days in Mapanza--it didn't start off so well, as we got to Mapanza only to find that 2 of our 5 gallon buckets of paint had busted in the back of the truck..where all of our luggage and bedding was...ugh! Then, as I painted the first room in our house, I discovered that the color "cream" in Zambia is not really cream..more like tangerine... and "red floor paint" is more like bright orange/barn red. Thankfully, we didn't buy much of these colors so back to the paint stores we go...

The plumbers doing...something...The funny part is that as I was about to take the picture the man with the white bucket runs over there to hold the bucket there and look like he was actually helping so he could be in the picture!

But, our time in Mapanza ended well! First, we got a call from my mom saying that New Day got an unexpected donation in the mail! Thank you so much, if you are reading this :) Secondly, we got a call from the electrical supply store today. They said "Are you the guys wanting to buy the bigger transformer?" Then, they told us that another customer wants to buy our transformer. So they will be ordering us the bigger size, driving here from the capitol city, taking our current one down, and putting our new one up!! GOD IS GOOD--that is answered prayer!!
