Our day began at 2:30 AM when Chris woke me up with a really sour stomach and was sick for the majority of the day. He didn’t get out of bed or even go to clinic today. I went up with Dr. Bunge to have an early morning devotion that Pastor John had prepared for us. Dr. Sams was sick, as well, so he, Chris and Adam stayed home. Dr. Sams wasn’t feeling too terribly, so he was going to go out to pump some water. Somewhere in the middle of the night, we ran out of water, thus running out of the capability to flush the toilet. Not a good problem to have, I assure you, especially with two sick-o‘s. Unfortunately, however, we have not had rain for a few days, so we were left waterless for the majority of the day. We were all so glad to see the rain clouds approaching mid-afternoon because it meant that we may no longer have to use “the hole” out back. It’s not a fun thing to use at anytime, but especially when you’re sick. That’s pretty much been our day…Dr. Bunge and Dr. Sams worked the clinic which was finished very early. I stayed with Chris for the majority of the day. We’re praying for no more sickness. And lots of rain!
