Our team of 3 families arrived safely last Wednesday and it has been a very busy time since. Trying to get them all settled into homes, buying furniture and orienting them to life here, all in 115 degree temps, has been a challenge! There's just no two ways about it - it is hot beyond imagination and our electricity has been horrendous. We usually have 3 sources of electricity and 2 of them are broken down right now. Our personal generator is in pieces in our driveway and the neighborhood generator has been broken for 2 days. When we have power, all 8 of us huddle in one room and try to keep it cool. The gov't electricity only comes a few hours a day so you can imagine how miserable it can get after awhile. In spite of this, everyone has great attitudes. We have had some profitable visits from "interested" people and that makes everything worthwhile. It may still be a few days before the folks can get moved into their own places; things just don't happen very fast around here. Living together in one house makes for a great bonding experience!
