And another week has passed - this time without water! Tuesday was our first day low on water, then it completely ran out and we didn't get any more until Saturday! It's a good thing we have braids - no need to wash our hair, so it was okay that I went without showering for 5 days! Haha I make light of it now, but it's quite a terrible inconvenience to have no water for days on end, without knowing when it will be back. But then today there was this major rainstorm with lightning and thunder and wind and hail and everything! It was crazy. Crazy crazy crazy. And our tanks were overflowing! Felt like rainy season again, and it was lovely and wonderful.
We were forced to say goodbye to Karissa this week as well, which was quite sad. Chris and Karen took her down to Yaounde to bring her to the airport and returned yesterday, and we've heard that Karissa is safely back at Biola. But we will see her again in four months! At the end of May, she's bringing a summer team of college students here for about 6 weeks! And that will be splendid and fun.
So many thank-yous to all of you who prayed for us this week and to Jesus! who brought back our water, our internet (which hasn't been working very well or at all the past few days), our electricity (which is always going in and out, but has been especially bad lately), and Chris and Karen from Yaounde. Aaaaaand for the opportunity to talk to my family tonight, after far too long! Hallelujah and good night.
