So Much for Blogging most Days

Our best intentions just couldn't be met.  Stuff happened and something had to give for our sanity.  So here I am waiting for the Sea Coach that will take me to the airport to catch the plane first to Brussels and then the States writing this blog post that is almost two weeks overdue.. The intensity of the last two weeks can't be captured in words, although I will try.  Everyday was a challenge in flexibility, focus and forgiveness.  Vicki and I stayed at the LemonAid Fund House/Office where there isn't running water and the electrical current was so weak that the air conditioners just couldn't function. Of course most of those in Sierra Leone whom LemonAid Fund serves have much less amenities than these.  The average 89 degree weather, we had, was wonderful compared to the Northern US States in February, however, it also added another factor we needed to deal with everyday and night.  

The first week was dedicated to planning, preparing, programming and paperwork. It was also about catching up with what has been happening on the ground with LemonAid Fund Network Partners and continuing to strengthen relationships.  We were in an out of many ministry offices, had meetings with people sometime in the most interesting places such as the tailor shop, and doing a lot of waiting.  Waiting is a past time in Sierra Leone. Waiting in traffic, waiting for someone to arrive, waiting for the tailor to finish making the dress...yet despite all this we had everything ready for Kathy, Oliver and Quinn when they arrived on the 16 February at 9:30PM exhausted, hungry and totally in for the experience. You can catch up with more of the day to day highlights on LemonAid Fund's Facebook page.  Peace, Nancy
