Moved to a new location

I've moved my blog to markboyd.info/wp  
Hope to see you there!

Check, check, and check

A recent e-mail from brother David Miller reminded me that I need to start on a packing list.  This won't be the typical trip where I throw some clothes in a carry on bag and head to the airport.  Let's see:
- volt-ohm meter
- compact flashlight
- screw drivers
- needle nose pliers
- all of the list of things the Sunday School class is donating for the McMillians
- candy and trinkets to give away
- hmm....  I'm sure there is more
- do I need to buy an extra suit case?
To be continued....

Prayer request:  That I'll do my best to think of what I need and to not worry about what I will no doubt forget.

Preparation

Connie & I leave for the village of Juan Tomas, Domincan Republic on Feb. 21, 2012.

Connie will be working on the student sponsorship program and I will be doing some work on the computer system.

I have been sending e-mails and have phone calls trying to learn as much as I can about what they have installed, how it is configured, and what the problems are.  I've learned that there is very, very little documentation available some maybe a large part of what I'll be doing is simply documenting what's there.

I also have in mind that I might be able to help them put in place, or at least start thinking about putting in place people and processes to manage their computer systems.  Not that they need computer experts, but simply someone to sort of be in charge and have some processes for managing things.

There may also be some work for me to do around the water project that is underway there.  I'm still waiting to hear on that.  Also, my dear brother Roger Clay will be there and I think he is being assigned the task of remodeling a bathroom or two.  I'm sure I'll get to work with Roger on that as well.


Prayer request:  That God would help me to be a servant in whatever way He calls me to do there.
