It happened last week! We were playing volleyball, and during the last game Kevin bruised his finger. We went back to Kilolo the next day, hoping it would get better, but after a few days he agreed that I should cut it off with a hacksaw! I cut a metal guard out of an empty tin, put it under the ring, and started hacking. We had to have a few minute breaks, but eventually it came off and I didn't even injure him! Where it had been on the finger was white, but it's now looking a lot better.
During the same week I was not well either, with a stomach bug, but I was all right to set a test for the Bible School students and mark it. They graduate next week, so please pray for them as they go back to their homes for Christmas. The Secondary School students have already gone, and teachers will have a break soon as well. We hope to celebrate with our friends in Iringa.
On Thursday we had electricians in to our house to get the wiring finished so power can be connected. The wooden post, which has been standing outside the house for two and a half years at last has wires attached, though it has yet to be connected! It will make a big difference having a fridge, electric kettle and lighting. Planning our food will be easier, and we might even get some variety! At the moment we have to eat beans and rice when all the fresh produce runs out at the end of the week, and it's hard to plan exactly how much of everything we need to cook on the wood burner.
