I don't think we would ever be able to describe a 'normal' day here as each one is so different and generally so unpredictable. We try to schedule some relatively routine things as we both need some structure in our lives, but even those things seem to be elusive much of the time. One thing I really look forward to is Wednesdays when we work with our Khongolote pre-school leadership. We're getting a good handle on the finances of the pre-school and I hope we are making a little bit of a difference. It is also alot of fun to be with all the kids there. Today while I was working with Carlos, Ann and Kimberly sat under the trees with the ladies talking and making plans for the next church-wide women's meeting. We squeeze all this in during the kid's naptime and it is always fun to sneak a peek at all this stored energy as they sleep! When we leave, that energy is starting to be released!
On the way we stopped at our church at Sao 
Damasco and we were happy to see the water line finally going in. We have been planning for this for some time and now there is a water tap on the church property that can be used by church members and the community to get water. The church still has some details to work out on managing the water as there is a counter and there will be a bill. In the first photograph we are talking about the job, in the second we see the two water company fellows working on the counter, and in the last photo, you see the small group of children watching our every move. They got some balloons out of the deal.

and as we've said so many times - it is the fundamental thing needed for good health - clean water. At the end of the day we passed back by and the job was complete and the water in use. Thank you Lord!

"...while three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered with water, less than one percent (0.37% to be exact) of that water is drinkable. Furthermore groundwater, where we place pumps for wells, only accounts for 0.28% of freshwater across the globe. " Global Water Cycle and Supplies - University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire web page
