Our Team is Busy Working in PAMA!

[Blogger's note: below you will find a summary of a conversation Jeana Harley just had with Tim on the sat phone. Please, continue to pray for our team in the CAR.]

I just got off the phone with Tim. They have been in Pama since Sunday afternoon. The trip up was typical Central African style. If you don’t know what that is, ask one of them when they return. It’s sort of like a VERY LONG ride at the fair. They are still working at getting a computer link with the SAT phone so they can email us pictures and more info about the trip.

As Tim was speaking, he said there was a large group of kids around him watching him talk into that black box. They were also very curious about his laptop too when he was working on it. In Bangui there are cell phones, but up country kids really wouldn’t see people using them. You can imagine the kids trying to figure that one out. The connection broke up from time to time because there was a storm going around them as we spoke. Otherwise, the weather has been good. There was a hard rain yesterday.

The team has been pouring concrete for the last two days. Tom went to the riverbed to get rocks and sand. They had a flat tire on one of their trips to the river. Tim said the people in PAMA are helping out a lot this time, which is a great improvement from the last trip. Rick, Tim and Tom are all doing well and feeling well. They will be in Pama until Sunday. Then they part ways, as Tom and Rick return to Bangui, and Tim goes on to Beberati to work with the well drilling team.
