Permission

We are thanking the Lord for the permission to use the land that we requested from the government for our house and agricultural project.  This was granted on Monday the 16^th after a 2^nd government official visited the site.  We are all ready to start building, so as soon as I can get the materials out there we will start building.  Thanks to all who were praying about this. 

Here is one of the little side stories about getting this permission.  After about a month of delays and scheduling conflicts the official was set to go to the site last Thursday, the 12^th and I was waiting for him in the village but a huge rainstorm came up and as the official gets around on a motorcycle he was unable to make it.  What is really unfortunate is that he almost did make it but… with the rain comes clouds - which block the sun - which power the solar panels that run the cell phone towers.  So while I had our vehicle and could have easily gone to get him, I was unable to contact him to see where he was.  But on Friday we rescheduled for Monday and all went well.
