Hello everyone! Congrats to the US soccer team on making it to the finals of the Confederations Cup. (hopefully we'll get to watch it in the village) I just wanted to post a quick update. You can expect a bigger, more picture-filled one later today and some more over the next couple of weeks. We are back in Kumba until Sunday night.
Everything is going very well here. We joined 371 pipes in 3 days this week. We have a plumber coming early next week to finish all the connections. Our hope is that by Tuesday afternoon we'll be able to test the line. If everything goes well with the test, our work will essentially be finished. We'll spend the rest of the week doing some small jobs and educating the maintenance personel in operation of the system.
Plans for the 4th of July are to host the immersion students (5 boys, 7 girls) at our place in the village. It should be an awesome time. Hopefully, village life won't be too much of a shock for them. The interquarter football/soccer cup also begins this week. Each of us will be playing for a different quarter. The next time we'll be back in Kumba looks like around July 10th or 11th. I hope you all still enjoy reading my updates. I always like hearing back from you. :)
