Top Ten

1. There's alway room for one more
2. It's raining, quick, get a bucket
3. "Aunty, don't tell the boys you real name," (Massah, 9 yrs. old)
4. Boiling water really is a difficult task
5. Maggots do grow in Sour Cream that is left out
6. When there's no water, make sure to turn the faucet off, if not, you may have a flooded bathroom!
7. In humid conditions, it may take your clothes 3 days to dry
8. If your clothes have not dried within 3 days, mold may begin to grow
9. A cup of tea every morning is good for the soul
10. Paved roads really aren't that necessary

To explain some of these...
1. Whenever we go anywhere, it seems like we are always picking up one more person!
2. We were without water for 2 1/2 weeks, but praise God it was raining pretty heavily so we used rain water to bath and clean with.
3. We are not short of mothers here, in fact we have about 45 of them. So mom, don't worry, these girls take good care of us!
4. Simple tasks in America, just really aren't that simple here.
5. We had a container of sour cream that was kind of forgotten about.
6. When we didn't have water, someone must have turned the faucet on and forgot to turn it off after they realized that there was no water. Then, when we finally did get water, you can imagine what happened!
7. Our clothes really do take this long to dry.
8. When it rains, we can't really hang them outside!
9. Tea has become a nice substitute for coffee.
10. And you can ask Kelsy and Julie about the roads! Those of you who love off-roading, need to move here!

I love the top ten! Of course, it was nice to have the background to understand them too - I'll give an amen on the roads. I'm praying for you Kristen!
