Life in Ukraine

Life in Ukraine.

I went to take a bath this morning...no water at all...ok, well, I can brush my teeth without water and use baby wipes. Praise God for baby wipes :)
So I get ready to go for the morning and packed a few toiletries to take a shower at the church office.

Then 15 minutes before I need to leave, I hear the water of my neighbors.  Quickly I send a text message to my VBS helpers letting them know I'll be a little late, and take the quickest bath in my entire life (4 minutes) (no shower nozzle and no plug for the bath-so I take a "cup bath"),  I arrived at church clean and ready for the first day of VBS, only 4 minutes late! A record!!

Today my landlord put in a new kitchen-oh it's so nice- (see below).  Some work still needs to be done on it, the kitchen sink is still out of order, but it's a start and I'm excited about cleaning and unpacking my kitchen from the boxes.  I've even mapped out where cups, plates etc. will go.

But then when i go to wash up for the night-no hot water.  I turn the nozzle of the kolonka (gas apparatus that makes the water hot) up high-nope. nothing. So I call the landlord. I know it's late..:( he says he'll be here at 9am. No matter,I'll think of something different.  I need to be at church by 9, think like a missionary).

So I take my electric hot water tea pot, get some water boiling for tonight and then for tomorrow.  In my hand wash bucket that I use for a bath, I put some water in it in case there is none in the morning.  Now I am set! Oh wait, the faucet to the sink in the bath is dripping and going all over the floor-so now I need to turn the water off completely at night till the landlord can get that fixed.  NOW I am set!! At least I pray so! Pray please for at least cold water in the morning!!
