oops

Well another day in Africa??? Yesterday around 11:00 AM two guys walked into the office at Majitech said hello and went over to talk to Humphrey. (Majitech's sales manager) I didn't think to much of it until Humphrey asked me how long we had been in Tanzania. I told him and went back to work on the computer. Two more guys joined the first two and they continued to talk with Humphrey. In a few minutes he came over to my desk and said quietly can we go to the other office and talk. We moved to the next office and he informed that the guys were from immigration and they came in looking for me. Some where along the line the ball got dropped and they didn't get my temporary work permit. Humphrey made some calls and said he was going into town with the immigration people to get it straightened out. In about an hour he called and asked me to bring him my passport. I did that and then went home to work from there, so as not to cause any further problems. I didn't hear from anyone the rest of the day.
Today when I arrived at work Humphrey wasn't there he had gone to Dar with the general manager Jacques. I was wondering what was going on especially since my passport had not been returned. Jacques called around 8:45 apologising for the problems and said I should have a temporary work permit and my passport back in 2 or 3 days. Hopefully he is correct, since Debbie and I and Jacques are supposed to fly to Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday if my passport is not back we're not going to be able to go. Thanks for your prayers

Settling in ????

I'm sitting in the house after a half day of work. The first day I have been at work since Tuesday. I have had a sinus infection that gave me very bad headaches. I ended up going to the doctor Wednesday evening. He gave me some antibiotics and finally on the 3rd day I have been headache free.
After work Deb and I did some grocery shopping and bought some produce at the roadside market and came home and fixed lunch. Just a toasted cheese sandwich each. Deb decided to go for a walk around the PPF housing complex nearby and I decided to sit in the house and read. One of my favorite pastimes, the joys of a good book.
