Please be in prayer. We have not had water at our compound since Friday. The government regulates when the power and water are turned on and off. It's really been a hard adjustment for me. I can live without power, but no water is taking a toil. That means no running water for showers, cooking, and no flushing of the toilets (if we have to go to the bathroom, we have to go behind the house.) We are able to access a well that is 200yds down the road. We've been filling up jerrycans and bringing them back in order to cook with or use for bucket showers (please note that we don't have cars here..we walk.) I wanted to share this with you because this situation is normal here. If you read BBC news, you'll see that there's a major drought going on in East Africa. Uganda is not been affected as we are in our rainy season until October. But come dry season, there is always the reality of a drought. Please pray for the farmers here to have a surplus of crops and rain water that keeps our wells full. I am thankful that the Lord is allowing me to experience this discomfort. Our ladies at One Mango Tree live hard lives; I'm grateful to experience a struggle that they deal with daily.
Much love,
Lauren
Here are some pics from my boda drive this weekend. It will also provide some perspective for the landscape here.
