Praise Jesus! John, Matt, Tom and the rest of the crew have managed to set up the VSAT internet connection in the Bayano tribe. It is powered by solar panels and they managed to get it up and working faster than expected!! I was concerned that they might not be able to get a good connection. At the summer camp where I work, we got a satellite internet connection since we are off the beaten path and the signal was weak and the connection was often lost for no apparent reason. What a gift that they have a reliable connection that can support skype with video feed as well.
It is funny that the only difficulty that I had with the connection last night, my webcam mic was not working. I was expecting an issue on their end! I got a new webcam and I am hoping for another call this evening when John will actually be able to hear me.
Things are good on the home front, the kids are doing well. I have had a bad sinus infection and I am now on my second round of antibiotics. I am hoping that this will clear up in the next few days. We had a quiet Saturday in on this rainy weekend. Melanie has a friend over to spend the night and Owen is filling the role as little brother and is pestering both girls whenever possible. :) My community group from South Potomac has been a big help to me this week. My sitter had ill children at her house and a couple of families helped out by caring for Owen while I got some work done. Thanks, Becki and Richard!
More later!
That is all from me. I know that John is working on uploading some videos and photos to the blog asap.
