Can You Hear Me Now?

I can tell it is the rainy season, because it has become even more difficult to reach Malawi. I try not to complain about how difficult it is to connect to Malawi, because I am so blessed to have as much contact with Thandie and Good Samaritan as I have. But lately it has been rough! For the past two weeks I have not been able to reach Thandie through Tel3Advantage, Which is the cheapest and most preferred way to call. And lately the extremely expensive calling card hasn't been reliable either. Tonight I called using Tel3, not expecting it to ring, since I haven't heard it ring in at least two weeks. But to my surprise it rang and Eda answered. But she couldn't hear me! She just kept saying "hello", over and over. I tried back and reached her a couple times....same thing. Then Thandie answered and again all I heard was "hello" over and over. Then I tried Lloyd, as I heard today from the Jorgensons that they have been able to reach him without too much trouble. Lloyd answered right away....and then I heard "hello" over and over. So I called Tel3 to let them know that after two weeks....I have had enough! Please fix this. They said it will be all fixed in 24 hours. Not sure I believe them....but I hope they are right! I don't know which is worse to hear the recording that your call can not go through or to hear the people you so desperately want to speak with.....say hello....and they can't hear you. Today Brother Gentry told me about another company that he uses, it costs more than Tel3 but much cheaper than the calling card. I may have to give that a try.
