Team Inzozi Day 5

Another amazing day in Gasarabwayi.  The great well drilling project started today with three attempts at raising the main rig.  After two attempts with a new tripod design we decided to make a conglomeration of the two ideas.  We augured down 8ft by the end of the day.  We felt that the day went well on that front.  On Monday we will actually start drilling with the drilling rig.  

In other news, we were talking with one of the Pastor’s of the Church, Emmanuel.   Bruce was asking about his crops (mainly corn) and remembered that last year head had 2 rooms full in his house.  Sadly this year has been very dry that there won’t be a harvest.  Through this we felt saddened but also hopeful for the reason we are here.  The new water and soil technologies that we are hoping to partner in, may help even in drought years.

Today was a very hot day.  We all agreed that it was probably the most intense sun we have ever experienced.  Peter guessed it was somewhere around 28c or 82f but it was HOT!  We enlisted the help of three men who stuck this out with us in this heat for the day.  Thanks to their hard work we were really able to get some headway on the project.  

Tomorrow we are able to join in worship with the Gasarabwayi church.  Bruce is getting geared up to teach and our hearts are ready to be opened wide to a new way to worship God!  Tomorrow will bring a great new experience!
