Internet Tower

These are some pictures of our internet tower (that's still not working to full capacity. ) At the top of the tower is Greg Nyhus.  He is currently headed back to the States with his family.  But before they left, Greg worked many long hard hours trying to get our satellite back online.  This included taking a wireless router to the top of the tower 00 and he's afraid of heights.  Apparently our internet service was coming from Italy and bounced off a satellite somewhere in the heavens and somehow ended up here in Nalerigu.  Right now I don't know where it's coming from.  The tower is to broadcast our internet signal wirelessly to each of our homes.  Right now, we are back online at the school building, but not wirelessly to our homes.

The other picture is Greg with his sons, Aiden and Carter.  No, they are not getting their fire-building Boy Scouts badge.   They are building a fire to soften a piece of conduit enough to bend it.  That's what the internet cable will go through on its way to the top of the tower. It's just kind of comical to think that we have to BUILD a FIRE to get our SATELLITE internet working.  Welcome to Ghana, folks!!


Be in prayer for the Nyhuses as they will be traveling back to Missouri soon.  Please pray for their transition back into the American culture.  Pray that they will be able to quickly get answers to questions regarding schooling for the kids and work for Greg.
