Your description here of Uganda sounds so very much like the lake area in Guatemala. No faucets and where they can get water it is not clean. Basic, clean water... such a need still for so many!MyQuietCornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281307206532913801.post-8180017071871546302012-07-09T00:32:17.702-04:002012-07-09T00:32:17.702-04:00 WOW!

Memories for sure!<br /><br />From what I understand, the electricity was run to the shower head and somehow it was heated as it came through that. I'm not totally sure how it all worked, I just knew not to touch it while in the shower! :-)MyQuietCornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281307206532913801.post-83670033847923344882012-07-09T00:30:00.002-04:002012-07-09T00:30:00.002-04:00 This made me grin ear to ear!

Very, very few people in Uganda can turn on a faucet to get their water and most get it from filthy little watering holes.

I love your fives this week and am intrigued by the electricity in the shower deal... When I was in Paraguay, the missionaries rigged up a large bucket with shower head at the bottom. We'd haul hot water (boiling in a barrel over an open fire), mix in cold water, hoist the bucket high, and take very quick showers ;-)nikkipolaninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281307206532913801.post-29815804270633543222012-07-06T23:53:08.632-04:002012-07-06T23:53:08.632-04:00:) Tonight my 7 year old thanked the Lord for our...:) Tonight my 7 year old thanked the Lord for our "home and provisions"...I loved hearing her tender heart be so aware and not take it for granted.Crystal Sandownoreply@blogger.com
