June 15th
Crazy that Sophie and I have the same birthdays… So, we baked a cake and fired up the bar b q and opened some presents… Thank you Mom, Dad, Paige, Brian, Sash and AB for the wonderful presents!!
It wasn’t all good news today though. We found out that we’re going to have to stay here in Lusaka for awhile and get the vehicle sold. It could take awhile because we have to have the vehicle appraised by a garage, and the vehicle can’t sell for less than the appraisal. Also, there has to be at least 3 offers made on the vehicle before we can sell it… I’m angry with head office because I don’t feel it’s our responsibility to be dealing with these issues. They need a country manager here in Lusaka to deal with these types of things. Because of this, the workshops we had been scheduling have to be delayed and the other commitements we made to the coaches in the camp will have to be broken. We’re also running low on money due to all the vehicle maintenance, so we can’t buy near as much sports equipment as we had wanted.
