A Week With No Toilet

So already i know this is going to be super lame but it is only because i have been working on College stuff all day.  

This week was a good week.  It had it's ups and downs but all in all it was a solid week.  We are getting ready for the baptisms of two men Charles and Michel this week.  Pray for them and we will see how that goes.  All of our other amis at the moment are doing well and we hope that this young kevin will get permission from his father soon.  Frankly this is so frustrating having to wait on that i mean the kid is ready to be baptized! So yes but that is it for the moment.  Nothing much.  Kinda of depressing news is that we are going on 1 week without a toilet and this is not easy.  And because public restrooms are not found in Europe we have secluded to using the shower and trash bags. The plumberr is taking his time getting a hold of us.  We have talked with him daily and he still is "not available to see us" or "he doesn't work that specific day."  Customer service how i miss you.... Luckily the church is where we spend most of our time but from the hours of 9:30pm-11:00am the next morning it's either no toilet or it's the trash bag special.  Oh memories....... So i know you're probably saying what happened????  Well lets just say 4 men and a lot of African food one night maybe the culprit......  We tried plunging it but then the plunger broke....  SO i bought 2 more plungers after a long and painful, in every sense of the word, search and that didn't work infact we found out that there is a gaping crack in the pipeline.  So yes... we flushed the toilet and water went everywhere.  I can honestly say i have never heard an italian scream so loud.  But we are getting along.  All is well that ends well... most of the time

I miss you all dearly and i pray for you every night.  Sorry this isn't long but i will have so much more to talk about the next week!  :)
