Water Update

As I posted earlier today based on my phone conversation with Mike Jones, below is detail he was able to provide via email (edited):

Hey Scott, -We do have water. Just enough. It would have been great to have some to spare, or use for other things like gardens (we should be able to make some shallow wells for gardens) or helping the school (which has no water). I must admit to praying much more earnestly after drilling dust for 60 meters. I'm sure many people were praying. Prayer works.

The new building site is on a gradual slope, making gravity fed water work better. I'll send some pictures soon, and some drawings.

I plan to be in Livingstone tomorrow withdrawing the money and buying a few things for stringing the foundations and digging. I'll go to Livingstone again within the next week, needing money and materials. Barclays Bank has increased the amount we can withdraw on our Visa Card to $1000.00, and since we have another Barclays Bank at Sun International I can withdraw Approximately $2000 in kwacha in Livingstone in one day.

God Bless, Mike

Wow. Admittedly I didn't realize that there was a risk with finding water. I suppose I knew there was a chance that we would come up dry, but to actually question whether water could me found?!

I imagine that this won't be the only surprise at we set-out to serve His children. Stay-tuned....
