STAYING BUSY



We are working on demonstration projects for Farmer's Day which is August 8. Here Nan is making a solar cooker using two pieces of glass, an inner tube and a pot with a lid painted black. You put a piece of glass on the ground, the inner tube with the pot, covered inside and a piece of glass on top. It is supposed to take 3 to 4 hours to cook beans or rice, we will try it before teaching.

We thank you for your continued prayers. You know we can't always tell you ahead of time when we need your specific prayers. Just last Friday,when Terry was working on making a biogas generator he cut his hand with a box cutter. We had three options-drive to Dodoma, four hours away (and we didn't know what the medical care was like there), fix it ourselves (it was a deep cut), or try our local government hospital. We went to the local hospital, where Terry received 5 stitches. His hand is healing well, with some help from our butterfly bandages and lots of wraping here at home.

Pray for continuted healing, for the project demonstrations we are working on, and opportunities to share our testimonies. Just going out to buy the supplies for the solar cooker has given Nan several opportunities to share her testimony. People want to know what she is doing and when she explains the projects, then the doors open for her to share her testimony.
