I pray three times a day for you, and when I do, I also ask the Lord to help you not to run out of water, and for your electricity to go off. <br /> <br />Jolene, I'm excited about seeing your next blog about the wedding. I was trying to describe to Anna how you arranged the veil, while the groom was waiting for her.<br /> <br />I love you.<br />Mom<br />Nahum 1:7Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-16524192144892765762010-09-21T23:29:27.458-07:002010-09-21T23:29:27.458-07:00A few months ago while they were cleaning the tank...A few months ago while they were cleaning the tanks, a piece of heavy equipment accidentally fell into the well and cracked it. We didn't have water for 10 days because they had to remove the damaged tank and put in a new one. :-O Yes, I also am very thankful for my running water. ;o) I was so thankful for the rain last week while we were out of water because I was able to set some 5-gallon buckets under the edge of the roof so that we could flush the stinky potties. ;o)Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-91699552951950647582010-09-21T23:29:01.198-07:002010-09-21T23:29:01.198-07:00I enjoyed your newest blog entry.

We are very fortunate to live in a neighborhood where we actually "own" our own wells. This means that we don't have to wait for water trucks to come every couple days to refill our tanks like many people have to. It also means that we don't have to use regular city water. However, they do have to clean our tanks every 6-8 weeks or so. When they do this, we have no water until they are finished and BELIEVE ME...Guatemalans take their precious time!! haha!Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-42494786347933365392010-09-21T11:30:12.329-07:002010-09-21T11:30:12.329-07:00Of course the water went out on the weekend of the...Of course the water went out on the weekend of the big wedding! Pefect timing, huh?<br /><br />I love that the villiage has access to clean water from your well. And you offer them living water, too!

Abram says if ever we build or buy our own place we will definitely put in a water storage system.<br />Hope that you soon have water flowing freely!<br />Ruth HansonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-28735171922487406292010-09-21T07:35:13.976-07:002010-09-21T07:35:13.976-07:00I am praying for you to have water again also the ...I am praying for you to have water again also the Van Sants are a blessingGinnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-85523081620797706532010-09-21T04:31:52.167-07:002010-09-21T04:31:52.167-07:00Are you sure you don't live in Uganda?

But how trivial these discomforts are in light of the sufferings of Christ when He lived on this earth. Missionaries may have to leave the comforts of the U.S., but think of Christ leaving Heaven!!!Sally Stensaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535047545489180064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-64256651372247216412010-09-21T02:44:03.577-07:002010-09-21T02:44:03.577-07:00I'll be praying you (and your neighbors!) get ...I'll be praying you (and your neighbors!) get water back soon!Chris and Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663048880676198145noreply@blogger.com
