The clinic in Tshibombo finally has full power! The boards arrived in Mbuji-Mayi yesterday. We picked them up at 6 in the evening and went straight to Tshibombo. We had dinner at Abbe Jacks house and then went to work at the clinic. I swapped out all the boards with the help of Jacky, via flashlight, and was able to turn the lights on sometime after 11 pm. We had a mini celebration with Peere, our chóferes, the electrician, and the nurses who were on night duty. Finally at midnight we decided to leave the light and go get some sleep at Abbe Jacks.
We are now back in Kinshasa. We checked on the clinic this morning (all is well) and went directly to the airport in Mbuji-Mayi. Jacky is currently visiting with her mother and I am using the wifi at a Presbyterian guesthouse nearby, where I will have my first shower in weeks (bucket baths are the only options in Mbuji-Mayi). We have one more full day here and then we fly out Saturday. I will be back in Houston Sunday afternoon.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and for this installation!! God has surely been with us every frustrating/stressful/blessed step of the way :-) I also have to give props to Peere, the most patient man ever. He went to the DHL office around noon yesterday and stayed there all day waiting for the boards. His presence prevented the office from closing until we got our box! Praise God in the Highest and to Him be all the glory forever and ever!
