I'm sorry there's been such a gap but I hope that everyone will understand that our last few days in Rehoboth were busy and since we've been home it's surprising how little time I've had to update this blog. I think I last wrote on the Thursday before we left Reho and now I guess I'll have some difficulty remembering the detail - but here goes anyway. Thursday was a quieter day. We chilled at the lake in the morning and went to Reho for supplies and a look around later. It was a chance just to catch up on a few things although I did look in at the garden.
Friday also started slowly. In the afternoon I was at the garden helping get the armoured cable from the main supply point into the building. Albertus the electrician has done a good job of getting the wiring installed and it only remained to get hold of a three phase switch to terminate the main cable. However, something of an anticlimax when we found that there was no supply coming from the meter. Reho Electricity were on the scene and I left them puzzling over the problem. I later learned that a healthy tap on the back of the earth trip switch had cured the problem - ah well!
Friday was a lot cooler and as evening drew on it got pretty nippy (or nobbling in Bex-speak!) at the lake. George, Anne Marie, Jennifer and Suzette joined Sian and myself for a prayer meeting while Bex headed off for a weekend of fellowship with all her friends at the Ark. It got so cold that we had to get a quilt for the girls but then all the cold was forgotten as we had a wonderful time of prayer and communion together. The guys working at the lake have a room one side of us and there were also guests along the row from us and whether they spoke Afrikaans or English they certainly would have known that we were praying and probably what we were praying. It was a wonderful, blessed time and will remain a very precious memory for Sian and I.
Saturday, Sian and I went to Windhoek to see if we could do some shopping for a few family presents etc. Sigrid, the Dutch volunteer at the Ark came with us and we had a very pleasant morning including breakfast at the Mug and Bean - an Americal style diner in Windhoek. We got a bit of shopping done but most of the shops closed at one so we had lunch and drifted back. On the way back we made a bit of a diversion up into the hills which were very beautiful. Baboons are a regular sight on a certain section of the Windhoek / Rehoboth road and when we stopped to video them, I saw a warthog. Sian is not so sure that I saw a warthog but I am adamant that I did - so there! No video evidence I'm afraid so you'll all have to take my word for it! Flash
