We have water!
Running water has been restored to our house at last! Yeah, praise the Lord!The workmen arrived on Friday, worked furiously and managed to get the job done in just a day, despite estimating that it would take two days. It involved digging up a path from our house to the main road and the workmen have done a great job as well as being quick, efficient, tidy and cheap (they charged the least out of all the companies we asked).
Pictures: (1) Digging up the path; (2) Half-way through the job; (3) All finished and the path is back to normal
We were were so happy and its really convenient to be able to shower, bath, wash dishes, drink, flush the toilet etc etc in our own house again! A great big thanks go out to all of you who supported and prayed for us during this time. We really could not have paid for the work without all your generous help, nor kept sane in the face of all Maiko's grandad's actions without all your prayers! Thank you so much! Regarding said grandad, unfortunately he is no happier with us and is starting to complain about the gas supply which our house and his house share... Not again we groaned... But this time he cant cut off our gas as he has already tried that the the company phoned him up and really told him off (which did nothing for his mood as you can imagine)!! But we didn't let his complaints get us down, now is a happy time as God has blessed us so much and we continue to pray for, love and be nice to Grandad no matter what he says or does. If there ever was a man who needed some joy in his life, it is him, so we continue to ask God to change his heart and we would appreciate your prayers too. Thanks!
We are now looking forward to using our house for our work again, and in line with that, on Saturday we hosted our Kid's club which had an extended summer break due to the water issue. 19 kids turned up for what Maiko and I consider the best ones we have had to date. Everything went well from the games, snacks, drama and message, but most of all the atmosphere which was just excellent. It seemed like all the kids left happy and are looking forward to next time. It really feels that God is putting things back together the way the wants them and is really blessing everything at the minute. Praise the Lord!

Once again thanks to everyone for your support. Your concern is vital and we greatly appreciate what everyone has done for us.
