True Community

This has got to be a sure sign that we are living in community! For that past few weeks we have had a clogged toliet in the down stairs. We assumed that one of our precious treasures put something in it and it was backed up. Well, tonight we discovered that was not the case. Our amazing servant neighbor Daryl came over and took the toliet out to investigate. As his wife Amy, the kids, and I watched from the distance (afraid of what might come out of the toliet) it turned out to be nothing. Daryl and Brenton had their arms, and faces right down in and around all the toliet water and muk. They are much braver than I! So, it was taken apart, and put back together, with no sign of a anything causing it to plug, and.... it still doesn't flush! We don't know what to do now. Daryl thinks it's an issue with the actual toliet rather than the piping! We have another bathroom upstairs in our home, but when you are 7.5 months pregnant and using the bathroom every 20 minutes throughout the day, the stairs get a bit exhausting especially in the middle of the night! Oh well, we will have to tackle this project when we get home from NYC. Thanks Daryl for being a great freind and helper to us whenever we need you.
