Continuing mishaps from yesterday.

More than just bee mishaps yesterday . . .
The screen guys came yesterday to install the screen doors.  We were so happy to finally have screen doors due to the rorroni's (june bugs).  First door went on no problems.  The double back doors, well, they installed those upside down.  Now, in the states a homeowner would throw a tremendous fit because they have now drilled holes into the concrete house and floor.  Not really patchable.  And, now not in the right place.  I'm not exactly sure how this is going to end.  The screen guys left with the doors and we still have rorroni's coming in at night.
While cooking dinner we ran out of gas.  Gas guy will not come until possibly Monday.  Thank goodness we had purchased a microwave for this house. Our beans were done but not the rice.  So, my first attempt at cooking rice in the micro ended in a steam burn to my left hand.  Then, while preparing a plate of dinner for Noe-Noe the guard, the top of the verde sauce bottle popped off spilling that sauce everywhere. Sigh.  Big clean up with a burning hand.
But, the biggie for yesterday (at least equal to getting swarmed by killer bees) a pipe burst in the back bathroom.  Sarah was in taking a shower when she heard what she thought was the shower next to hers being turned on.  Odd, she thought because that shower does not have a curtain hung yet . . . she heard the water running and running.  She thought someone was in the bathroom with her (wouldn't be that unusual given the construction of this house - if we were in the states she would half kill any bathroom intruder - see how flexible we have become)  anyway she started talking to the assumed bathroom visitor - no reply.  Finally, after some time she peeks out the shower curtain to see a deluge of water spewing from under one of the 3 sinks in that bathroom.  She starts hollering for me.  I knew immediately from the sound of her voice and frantic calling that there was a big problem.  My first thought was - a snake.  We all started running into the back of the house only to be met by literally inches of water pouring out - already out of the bathroom, out of the bedroom, and flowing into the hall.  Honestly, preferable to there being a snake but a terrible mess anyway.  We got the water stopped.  Thankfully they installed those water cut off valves under the sink.  We have 3 brooms and no mops - (it's a side story that I have been on a quest for a mop since I got here)  we swept the river of water through the house and out the door.  The force of the water caused some damage to the concrete walls but otherwise a near disaster was averted because we just moved into this house 4 days ago.  (We had been living in house 4 and just working over here during the days) Had that pipe burst prior to that or during one of our outings this house would have flooded and the well on campus would have been drained dry.
So, those were yesterdays mishaps . . . .  but, so much went well yesterday . . . we did get one screen door installed, all the windows in house one got washed, house one yard work was accomplished, laundry was finished, the kids all made it to bible class, one more window on house six was filed, and we made a successful trip into town complete with ordering and receiving the correct (and reasonable) amount of tortillas from the tortilla tienda, and the floors in house six received an excellent mopping despite my lack of a mop!
The biggest prayer request right now:  House One (Casa Pappilla) is now ready for the babies to come.  We pray that the government/legal documentation and procedures will supernaturally be swiftly cleared up.  The 20 babies that are to be rescued from the population of over 300 at the government orphanage need to get here so we can start to love and nurture them.  Thank you for your prayers.
