flinging photons in Kolongo,(xrays)

wow what a day, God showed up thats for sure. yesterday wewere able to get the x-ray film processor up and working, films looked great but not so much for the xray machine. We had error codes we did not know what do to with and were very frustraded. But Don Russell, whome may i say worked miracles in figuring out wiring for this thing,had made a contact in the states before we left with a man who worked on these old machines and told us to call him if we needed help, so we did. HE E-MAILED US BACK THE ANSWERE he knew exactly what was going on so this morning we got right to it and sure enough the error code left but still no exposure from the unit and now a new error and we did not have clue.
we are leaving Sat morn so we were getting nervous the last thing we wanted to do was leave without this thing working. We e-mailed him again but it was 1230 in the AM and did not think we would get a resoponse till late in the day when it might be to late. We recieved a e-mail from our pastor, Chris Hallock, earlier in the morning and he reminded us to not to forget to pray because when you get busy that tends to happen. so we stopped and we prayed we didn't no what else to do, funny how God does that to you, we finished praying and don recived an e- mail stating that this guy had stayed up late and to give him a call so we did and low and behold he had the answer and we went back to the dept. made the change and we now have working machine. God is awesome. We are all so relieved and thankful so the x-ray machine and processor are working well, once again we learn to depend on God instead of ourselves, thank goodness.

The school here gave us welcome and thankyou celebration, they sang and danced and fe4d us it was great they are so warm and friendly and so greatful for everything, a great lesson for us all. WE are all wearing out a bit and are looking forward to seeing our families but will never forget this time and hope to repeat it sometime in the near future. We head baCK TO THE FARM TOMORROW then to crazy Kampala on Sunday and a day in Amsterdame on Monday and home late tuesday night. Thankyou all for your prayers

Be God's
Jeff
