When using that word as a title I get this image of someone crawling through the desert, desperate for a drink. There are many people here desperate for water right now. We learned through our friends Don and Heather last night (the ones we visit in Chichicastenango - say that three times fast) that the entire town up there is without water due to the storm. Worse than that they have been told it will be two to six MONTHS before they get water again. They have water because they live on the grounds of a hotel with a well. Unfortunately hotel policy is that they can't even share the water with their employees.
Please join us in praying today that the hotel owners will modify their stance in this time of crisis, and for the ministries in the area trying to get water to distribute.
Off to clean the old condo - joy, joy.

Yikes! Six months without water.
All the howlies on Guam like to say we're living in a "third-world country with an American veneer."
Your stories help me realize that Guam is not anywhere close to the third world.
