Las Moras, 5.5 hours away from civilization, is pretty remote and isolated.\u00a0 There is no electricity, no running water, no phone service.\u00a0 Many of our other co-workers in similar situations have used satellite internet for communication with the outside world.\u00a0 It’s useful to stay in contact with family, consultants, etc.<\/p>\n

\"Aligning<\/a>
Aligning the dish to find the satellite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In May, Tom & Pete set up our dish, aligned it exactly to the coordinates of the satellite we are registered to, and set up the modem.\u00a0 In the end we ran into a glitch and couldn’t finalize the set-up. Now, in October, Pete tried once again to set up the system, and once again we are not able to finish the set-up. Please pray for Pete as he works with tech support to be able to get all the bugs worked out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we are able to use the teachers’ internet connection provided by the Dept of Education.\u00a0 Although it is not optimal, it is a blessing to be able to send and receive email once in a while.<\/p>\n

The "computer lab"\/school kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several times a week we take our laptops with full charge down to the school and check email.\u00a0 For some reason, our computers don’t always like to work with the connection.\u00a0 Half of the time my computer either won’t send or won’t receive messages.\u00a0 Some times, it won’t do either.\u00a0 The other half of the time, it works and I thank God for the blessing of communication!<\/p>\n

Computer lab at one end. Kitchen at the other end. School pantry in between.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Feel free to write to me while I’m in the village.\u00a0 I might not receive it right away, but after a few tries, I should be able to receive it.\u00a0 But, please don’t send any large attachments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
