It's hard to explain the process here. Obtaining this permit should have been a relatively simple thing (in contrast perhaps to the finding of a suitable engineer to get the plans drawn up for the completion of the re-modelling work!).
Andrew got the papers he needed and went back to the office to find that there was still another paper that needed to be signed (a couple of hours driving!). Finally on Friday he was able to go down again and praise God was able to get the permit. So now we have permission for all the work that the team plan to do.
It's so interesting to hear the guys talk about the work. Most of their expertise and even vocabulary baffles us. How wonderful that God gives different gifts and abilities and the opportunity to use them for His glory. I would hate to think of the mess if all the planning and organisation for this project was left to us! What is a grinder anyway? And what does it mean to seal cement? And who knows what else those guys were talking about?! But if you are a wife reading in then be encouraged that at least the guys seem to be eating well and in a small way I have played a part there as have others in our missionary team!
