The other part of moving into a new house is all of the problems of new construction. For the past 6 days we have been without or just a trickle of water. We have called the landlord to fix it and they have been. Things here are so on Ugandan time. It took the city 3 days to come and see why the neighborhood was out of water. They arrived at our gate, two men on a motorcycle with a pipe wrench and a shovel. Not what I would expect for a city employee checking why a neighborhood was without water. They explained to me that the pressure is low and that is why it is not working. I have decided that I am now skilled enough to be a Kampala city employee.
We now have 4 plastic reserve tanks that will supply the house with water if the pressure gets low like it has for the past few days. During the night the pressure is high and fills the tanks. During the day we use the elevated tanks to supply the house.
So how soon are you going to check out a job and be a city employee? HAHA You have worn alot of different shirts in your lifetime, but the one you are wearing now is the right one and just the right fit for both of you. Praying for your safety and that you will start getting water during the day so you don't have to store water. Sounds like you might be living on the reservation. Take care and give lots of hugs to Sarah and Jethro. Have Sarah give you a hug from me. Love you lots, you never know when I might end up on your doorstep if God see fit for me and your mom to come to Uganda.
