Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We have had a great day! God has blessed us so much and we are so thankful! Lately we have been so thankful for things that we often take for granted. We are so thankful for the luxury of electricity and running water in our house. Togo has been rationing electricity and we learned today that it may be this way until February. We also learned that our water may also be out. Last night some theives tried to steal the generator that runs the pump that sends the water to Tabligbo to be pumped into the chateau. They did not succeed in stealing the generator but in their attempt they broke several important parts that are needed to get the water to Tabligbo. So, until those can be repaired, we may have no water. Life is interesting. We will be fine, but some of our neighbors and neigboring towns will suffer. It is amazing that when things we take for granted get taken away they become so much more appreciated. We have been so abundantly blessed and we are very grateful.
