Water, Electricity, Grammar

 Thank you for your continued prayers.  It's been an eventful week!  Wednesday afternoon an elbow on a big pipe coming down from the cistern broke.  We did conserve as much as possible, but thankfully we had enough water to make it through by the time our always-busy maintenance crew could fix it.  By Friday the water situation was back to normal.  In the middle of this, the electricity went out, and we couldn't gauge how long it would take to fix, so the generators were hooked up. Someone joked that this was additional missionary training--little water and no electricity! By the time the generators were in place, the power came back on!😊

  Part of my responsibilities is to teach grammar.  Several years ago my grandchildren gave me a t-shirt for Christmas that reads:   Let's eat Grandma

                                          Let's eat, Grandma

                                          Commas save lives

I have always had a lot of fun with the shirt, and when I wore it this week, the Mexicans laughed too.
