Rain = running water = hot showers!!!

100_0524

Last weekend our good missionary friend Bob came in to finish the plumbing in our house.  We had sewage pipes already but no water pipes.

In the process of getting things ready for Bob, an important fitting for our water holding tank was cracked.  Thus the tank had to be emptied in order to fix it.

Over the weekend all the plumbing was finished and the fitting was fixed but we had no water to test the system.  The night before Bob left we decided it would be best to pray for the rain to wait till Bob left.  No one likes a muddy hike.  The Lord answered our prayers and it didn’t rain.  Bob made it out with no trouble and little mud.

That Monday afternoon we added “RAIN” to our to-do list.  A few hours later we had a light rain.  We joked with Christina that we need to be more specific in what we need to do.  So we added “HEAVY” to our “rain” to do.  Within a couple more hours it started to pour!!!

In just 55 minutes this barrel was full and over flowing!!!

That made one more thing to stroke off the to do list.

That night I had my first hot shower in our house!!!  It was so nice.
