My new little house is great! I can get internet in my room and it has been surprisingly reliable (although I do not expect this to last). There are 13 missions school houses and I am living in one of them. I am the only one in this housing compound so I had the privilege of going through the other houses to find the things that my house was lacking (I call it house shopping). I found an electric kettle and enough hand sanitizer to make any nurse smile!! And I acquired some fans which made my night more bearable in the heat.
Just after breakfast this morning (7:20am) a Mozambican man showed up at my house... once we established that he spoke about as much English as I speak Portuguese he said the word ‘plum’.... I realized that he must be the plumber. I was right, soon after his arrival his helper arrived. I know that my house has water because my bathroom sink works and the toilet has water but the kitchen sink had no water and the shower would not work. These men quickly (30min) fixed my kitchen tap and have been working on the shower for 2.5 hours! The water is now running but I still need a shower head! I am sure it will arrive! (It arrived before I posted this J)
A quick update on my missing bag for those of you not on Facebook: On my luggage tags, I do not write my address but I write my email address. A couple of days ago I got an email because of that tag (it made me smile that my idea was efficient). My bag decided to hang out in Johannesburg; maybe it went on safari or chased some elephants! I now know that my bag got on the 0830 flight this morning and it will meet me at the airport after lunch... so exciting!! This is also the first year that i locked my checked baggage so i am sure everything will be present!!
Now to town for groceries before going to the airport!!
Have an amazing day!

Update on the update: My bag is here and I have shaved my legs J. I chose not to include pictures!.. everything that I put in my bag in Canada came out again with nothing missing and no explosions. God is Good!!
Stay Tuned: My next blog will be all about latrines and what the nurse has done here!!!
