At last! John and David were arriving today and the project was finished.
We headed up to the school for 9 am but were then informed that the chief would not be arriving till 10 am. At least we had time to finish off the remaining doors and planking up the building corners care of Gavin's new handy skills at hammering!
The chief arrived slightly before 10, and we were treated to a song from the school children before praying for the school, unveiling the sign and then a speech from the chief and Mark. Unfortunately I missed Mark's speech as I headed to the airport to meet John and David. Sarah, Mary and Pastor Solomon were with me and eager to meet my little boy.
We arrived after the plane had landed and I greeted John by burying my face in his shoulder and bursting into tears. Probably not what he was hoping for! David was looking very hot and bothered and was quite inseparable from John having spent the last 11 days with just him.
Back at the school the local women and children crowded round David, who took it very much in his small little stride, not phased at all by all the attention. John had to rescue him at one point as they all wanted a hold and were starting to get a bit rough at passing him around. Otherwise, it was a good morning and it was amazing to see how God had blessed us and helped us accomplish all that we had set out to do.
