The water saga nears its end

For those aware of our water problems lately we have some new news. For those unaware let me give you a quick history.
When Maiko and I moved to Japan in August last year we arrived right in the middle of a somewhat tricky family situation. Maiko's parents are Christian but her grandparents are not. One set of grandparents (Maiko's dad's parents) are not too happy about this and really want their son to renounce his faith and become a Buddhist again. Grandad is a Buddhist and has a small shrine in his house where he sometimes prays and offers food to his ancestors. Despite this he also says he does not really beleive in any god. Maiko's dad on the other hand is a strong Christian and did not want to change his religion, having come from buddhism which he found hopelss and pointless, and this has led to some family fighting. In the end grandad said he would not speak to Maiko's dad and would cut him out of his will. So this has been the case since we arrived and it has been a bit awkward because our house is next door to grandad's! Actually it is Maiko's dad house and we are just renting it from them as they have another house. So we were well and truely in the middle and on good terms with both sides! OK, getting to the water part now... the house orignally shared a water pipe with grandad's house, and this was the case until June this year when Grandad decided to punish his son further by cutting the water off from our house (he took a screwdriver to the pipe if you are wondering). This was all very strange especially since grandad said he was not angry with Maiko and I (who live in the house), but with Maiko's dad (who lives in another house)!! So we had no water for a while, and when we phoned a company to come and lay a new pipe for us, we found out that it was well (well well) beyound our means. That resulted in us sending some fervent prayers and pleas to God over the next few days and weeks. As off today there is still no water, but...now getting to the new news i mentioned... today we phoned the company again and asked them to commence construction work. Its amazing but im happy to tell you that God has provided all the money we need to lay a new water pipe to our house! We got the quote today and it is a massive 700000 Yen (about 3500 pounds), and God has provided every penny!! Praise the Lord! The company have to do some legal stuff re digging up the road around our house so they think it will take about a month to get the water flowing again. Praise the Lord, we are so happy and blessed by this news. We want to send out a big thanks to everyone who has supported, encouraged, provided and prayed for us. We really appreciate all you guys.."arigatou gozaimasu!"
