Monday-back to Miss Moyo
I nervously walked to Miss Moyo's office this morning. I guess I was nervous that she would still be away AND that perhaps people in the office had told her that I came last week and cried and went straight to her boss and that she would be angry with me!
I was happy to find her there with her typical serious face (she is really skilled at showing no emotion!). She was having her 'chai' so I said I would wait in the hall until she was finished. After about 15 minutes she walked out and called for me.
I sat down and said,'I came last Wednesday as you requested and you were on safari. I went to Mr. Charwe to see if he had our approval letter, I hope you don't mind.'
She offered, WITH A SMILE..'sorry for your trouble. I heard that you were upset...(yes I am sure she did hear about the sobbing Mzungu Mama in Charwe's office)I apologize for going away at the last minute. I will prepare your letter today for Mr. Charwe to sign and then you should come tomorrow morning to get it. He will be here then as well.'
After just about falling off my seat, I calmly thanked her and re-confirmed what time I should return tomorrow and walked out. That was easy...keep praying though, this is Tanzania!
I will continue to keep you all posted. Thanks to everyone who has sent supportive emails and messages on the Blog..it really has been a ridiculous saga!!
