Yesterday ended with a surprise blessing though it started with difficulty. We didn't have water coming to any of the taps. I flipped the switch on the pump by our reserve tank in the ground, but it wouldn't start. I called the landlady who called the plumber. While waiting, I climbed on the roof from our balcony to see if there was water in the tank on our roof. It was empty. But I did find my missing garbage can! It had been left there by the plumber the last time he came, lol! I then checked the pump again, but it wouldn't start.
I thought I would have to miss Wednesday Bible Study at the church at 7, as that is when the plumber said he could come. At 7:30, I tried the pump again, just to see if I could hear a buzzing noise, and for some reason it worked now. So I hurried to church, an hour late. The topic was prayer, (which is something I need to practice more and read less about:))
After the study, a lady turned around and started to chat in English with me. Another turned to listen, so we switched to Spanish. Then another lady joined us, and soon I was visiting with 3 ladies in Spanish, and didn't want to stop. It was really neat to have them want to visit with me, and I wasn't feeling like my spanish skills were holding me back!!
I was then asked spur of the moment to help in a skit for father's day. I agreed as I am allowed to read the lines, but I need to practice the pronunciation a few times before Sunday. The director has a passion for drama, and was very excited to have me give the lines in English and Spanish, like a sports announcer. I then took him out for burritos, and visited some more. I am meeting with him fairly regularly to encourage him. He encourages me as well as helps me practice spanish. I got home after 11pm. But it was great!
