"Mesi Bon Dye" "Thank you God"

I just want to give a shout out of praise to God. Today, Albert, Peter's friend, came with a generator so we could pump water up to my reservoir on the roof. I haven't had water in my apartment in over a week. We thought it would take about 30 minutes to fill the reservoir. This was not the case. The pump was 220/50 hrtz and the generator was 120/60 hrtz and Albert didn't have a plug adapter to use the 220 outlet on the generator. So we thought all was lost. However, Carlos, a gentlemen down the street who is an electrician, came and said it's not a problem he could make it work. Carlos stuck two pieces of electrical wire in the 220 outlet and wired it to the extension cord and before you knew the pump was running. Twenty five minutes later the reservoir was full. It only cost me 150 gds for diesel, 2 ice cream cones 40 gds, 100 gds for digicel phone card and three hours of time. This is life in Leogane. Peace, Love, and Joy. Missy
