Disaster Avoided

So, just got time for a few quick stories but I did want to update you all. I did attempt to drill a test borehole a little over a week ago but had a problem: we struck water. That's right, the problem was we got water sooner than we expected which caused a part of the borehole to cave in on top of our drilling bit. We for half a day and into the next morning before we got it out. Not everyone is so blessed and if we had not got unstuck it could have much as $7000 buried 100ft underground. In the end it was a good lesson to learn and the entire crew got gained experience. I celebrated getting unstuck by mud wrestling with one of the bible school students.

This next week I just preparing to drill our two test boreholes next week so then I can focus on our first real community borehole that will be drilled when the e3 team is here.

I'm almost in my house! It's not "finished" yet but good enough to move in. I'll hopefully be in there by the end of the week.

Prayer Request:
-I got a lot of stress right now with so much to do. Pray that God helps me stay organized and to help get everything done.
