Last bit

My last day of installations was planned to be a half day. We got home after 3 so it wasn’t. But I’m not complaining. We put in 5 wells and we’re able to finish one of the builders installations for the year. He said that the villages had been calling to find out when they would get their wells and he couldn’t give them a day. Or when he did the plans would change and they continued to wait. 

The villagers said that they were calling. They were waiting, actively. Not wanting to be forgotten. Not wanting to wait any longer than they had to to get clean safe water. And now. Finally. They were satisfied seeing this dream come true, these prayers answered. Ulemu kwa Mulungu! Glory to God!

The last three wells we put in weren’t too far apart and yet they weren’t all that close either. We would dedicate and head back to the truck, drive tit he next and when I got to the well site, the same children would be there. And then again. This girl in green was one of those. She was at all three of the wells. She would smile shyly at me and hang around and then disappear as soon as we headed back to the truck. Then there she would be again.
