There is something empowering about electricity…the hum of a refrigerator, the whirling of a fan just puts an extra spring in one’s step!  Even little Josiah yells “yay !” when a light is turned on.  Yes!  We have power!

Dale read in the local paper that the government agreed to receive (and hopefully pay for) the fuel ship which was to arrive around 6pm yesterday.  Before that, some leadership had decided to boycott the current tanker because they felt like they were being forced to renegotiate their contract.  Unfortunately, that left the island without fuel for the last 5 days…finally, a reserve supply went out to the power company from the government…and now we have power!

Of course, it will likely go off at it’s normal random times, but we have seen it and done that before.  We are thankful for whatever we have!!
