We have been without water the last two days. It seems that someone forgot to pay the water bill, at least that is what we figure. There is a tank on the roof that supplies us temporary water when the water is turned off, but this time through lack of communication, we don't and won't have water until tomorrow. It is sort of like that same lack of communication happened about a month ago when someone one turned off our power for about 24 - 36 hours. With no power, it is surely hard to sleep with the humidity and heat.
So this morning, we are getting ready to go to the Institute without any water. We found out that those who set things up for our apartment forgot to sign a contract with the water company, so they turned off our water. Now we wait. Since we are in the "Dominican" we may wait a few days for water. Nice huh? Bonnie is warming water in a tea kettle, and that is how we shall shower, wash hair and prepare. Nice, slow, but it works.
I had someone create a "pass-a-long" card for this area, and now I am looking for a cheap printer. I feel that this will be a great tool for helping the missionary work. I have to design the back side, but that is in process.
This is what it will look like. The flag is of the country. They are very proud of their country. When we get the rest of it designed, I will try to remember to send a copy of it.
I love the clouds in this country. Since we have such small mountains here, they continue to flow through daily, and they are so fluffy, large, bubbling, etc. I love them. Maybe one day I will get Bonnie to take some pictures of them.
I showed one of my classes yesterday a picture of my 20 nietos. They were very amazed to see so many of them. Love it, and miss them. Bonnie will add her two to four cents worth later.
