We have water!
After living in this apartment for 2 years, we have finally figured out the water problem. We recently discovered that the reason we seldom have water is because the pump did not work (the pump was in our neighbor's yard, so we never thought to check it until our new neighbor mentioned that she never heard the pump turn on). So, for $1500 pesos (about $50) we had the pump fixed and a switch wired up to our house so we can turn the pump on and off as needed. There was no switch previously (I wonder how long the pump has been out of commission...). So, unless the city water is turned off, we can turn on the pump when we are out of water and "magically" the water appears! Praise the Lord! If only we had known sooner... ah well, I learned a lot of patience and trust during those frustrating water times...

We're dealing with learning all about wells, too, as the house we're buying has one that might have a problem with it, except we don't have city water also hooked up also, so we HAVE to figure out the well problem.
Always something exciting right?
Praise the Lord! Just in time for washing all those diapers... :-)
