We live in a little house on the property of the ministry here. Apparently, the electrical system needs upgrading and new cables and such. Our power has been out since yesterday evening. Last night we got home from dinner at midnight to a dark house, so we went and spent the night at our friends house with running fans. Tonight we are bedding down on mattresses on our office floor. The reason?? Air conditioning and internet! Could life really be much better when you can't sleep in your own bed? (Our office also has a bathroom with a shower and a phone!)
Shouldn't be too bad, just as long as one of these don't decide to come and visit us in the night!
I love the new look! Hope the AIR CONDITIONING comes back soon!

We actually don't have air conditioning in our house, but that's not usually too unbearable with lots of fans and cool showers. We have learned to deal with that since we were in Nicaragua.
Thanks for the compliment on the "new look". We have been wanting to revamp for a while but usually were online at someone's house or borrowing internet somewhere... I like it too!

Our power's back on! Fortunately we only lost the food in our fridge - the freezer stuff was still cold.

Yeah! Isn't it amazing how people survived thousands of years without electricity, but we (*I*) have trouble with a few hours?
