This week has been pretty quiet. A small little knock on our office door and I opened it to find a petite translator lady from Taiwan. She had limited English and I understood that her email in the village wasn't working. So we sat down and got it working. Later she said in her English
"you'll be here long term?"
I replied, "I'm here for a while, yes."
she clapped her hands.
that was a nice little encouragement, as she went out the door, the issue resolved.
Yesterday I was on the phone to a place called Wewak, which is very north. They had a computer crash and were unable to get email. After an hour of troubleshooting the problem was resolved and they were able to continue working. The gentleman I was working with was in his 60's and wrote a simple little note of thanks over email.
That was encouraging too.
It is nice to be able to from time to time, realize that fixing these things for people has significant value.
