Past few days in Bere

We are getting settled in although not quite adjusted to the time zone change yet. I went out this morning to two different branch Sabbath Schools under the mango trees then came back for church.

Things have dried up a lot so I think dry season has begun. The low this morning was 80.

I did a prostatectomy, an ectopic pregnancy with a lot of blood in the abdomen, a ruptured appendix that I thought initially was a perforated gastric ulcer but wasn't, 2 hernias, drained an abdominal wall abcess, took a grain of rice out of someone's ear, etc.  Samedi did 2 c-sections the morning we got back. One baby was dead from a prolapsed cord. Other baby lived .

I was surprised to find one generator missing when I was looking around Thurs morning after we got back Wed evening on the mission plane. Our baggage arrived here Fri morning. The generator apparently got its inner wiring burned so Isaac had taken it apart from the motor and had it taken to Moundou to get it rewired or rewound. So far the other generator is doing fine. They say the repaired generator sould be back this coming week sometime.

The dogs are fine.

James Appel is here this weekend going back to N'Djamena where he is working part of the time. He was at Moundou for a few days while Scott was gone. James was visiting the grave of his child this morning that he lost here to malaria a few years ago.  Scott is going to Europe next week for a month but Samedi will be covering Moundou during that time . I will covering Bere.

All seems quiet so far as Boko Haram or any danger is concerned. I have not heard of any further problems.
