I'm back in Pemba, arrived monday night after getting the 1000 tennis balls I was waiting for. It is great to be back home! But things are totally chaotic here. I think I might want to cry. The sound systems are a wreck - I might have 1 working system... but I need 5 before next tuesday when the mission school starts. And the things I need to make it work are BIG things, like generators and speakers - not just little connectors or microphones. I'm so tired of buying new things and just them being messed up within 6 months - I feel like saying 'NO!!!' but I cant, cos then the evangelism wont be as effective/wont happen.
I looked at the sound room where I lock all the systems away. I had it nicely organized into sections, each system seperate. Now everything is just jumbled into one heap, broken and working together. I looked at the toolkits I have made up for the outreach teams - they are all empty, the tools just missing. I feel like just not bothering to replace the toolkits - let them suffer if something breaks when they are 5 hours into the bush in the middle of nowhere. Then maybe they wont steal it. Of course nothing was stolen, its just missing. Do I sound frustrated?
So now I am faced with the enormous task of getting it all sorted before Tuesday evening when the Mission School kicks off with an guest speaker from the States. Oh, and did I mention that I have to have one system working perfectly by tomorrow night so that nothing will go wrong when a film crew that is here at the moment can experience an evening bush outreach...???
