SO, normally, our water is shut off at 9pm and comes back on at 6am. Today, no water until almost 3pm. That meant using our back-up buckets to flush, and alcohol-based hand gels. At church, our friend who works at the Electrical Commission told us the water was off because somebody(ies) stole the main power cable that went to the pump house in the middle of the night, took the Gov’t ‘till 3 to run a new line…
SO, asked to lead worship at church tonight. Normally, 70-80 people. 20 minutes after normal start, there were only 5, so I abandoned the sound system and called people up front and did ‘ala-acoustico’. By the end of the song service, there were 40 peeps… I think they were singing louder than if we did ‘normal’…
…AND those 40 peeps, including kids all participated in Lori’s demo of Oral Rehydration skills during the service. The theme tonite was missions: safe and clean water, and the leader of the service thought something ‘missional and practical’ would be good.
… AND the guy who normally packs 3 or 4 bottles of bug-off didn’t bring one this trip, and the bite-welts are starting to accumulate…
‘Nuff said for our ‘manic Wednesday in Mexico’…
