Oh the life of a "M" is always interesting. It never seems to get dull. Yesterday our power went out and was out all day until around dinner time and then we got it back on. Today we found out that the FREE water we have been told all about is free for a reason! We don't have any. We were told that during the dry season, which are the months of November through May, the water pressure isn't very good. It may be okay for some of those months but since it has been dry for so long there isn't enough water to make it to our tank on our roof. Therefore, we have no water. We are hoping that tonight the pressure will be better as less people will be using it and we may have some tomorrow. Please pray.
The high speed internet we were told we would have has turned out to be non-existent at times. We have to have it checked out too. It is always something and poor Greg's blood pressure has gone up again. The first day we were here Jerod had a stomach bug, then the second day Greg had a touch of it, now today, Alex woke up with a mild case of Chicken Pox. He doesn't seem fazed by it all, so that is a blessing. He had the shot but obviously it just helps it not be as bad. We are a little overwhelmed and would really love all of your prayers. We will be traveling soon and it would be great if we were all healthy and non-stressed!
On the bright side, the house is really starting to take on the feel of a home. Annie says it feels like living in a hotel. I have NO idea why but I am really glad she feels like that! We have met our neighbors on each side of us and they are both sooo nice. We said we are Language Row because we are 3 houses connected. In one house it is all Spanish, then there is us with English and then our other neighbor speaks her heart language Purepecha. She is so neat and I think it will be a lot of fun getting to know her. She makes pottery. She asked me if I wanted to learn how and I told her as soon as we finished traveling I would be over there to learn how. She is probably in her 70's and Annie can't wait for her to teach her how to make pottery! We are excited. Of course we are already learning that the difference in the language that we have been working on for 5 years now is huge and we will have to learn a lot of new vocabulary. That should be fun! ;o)
Hope all of you are enjoying the start of summer and that God is blessing you all in many, many ways! Love you! Missy
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
