| An abandoned water tank on our property--big crack in the top and leaky holes in the bottom. |
 |
| We cut the top of the tank off--including the offending cracks and fissures. |
 |
| We repaired the holes in the bottom of the tank and cleaned it thoroughly (or rather we had our hired plumber and hired manservant to do both of those tasks--as well as repair the external plumbing to facilitate the filling of the tank. We rigged up an ingenious use of the house water pump to draw from the rain-water cistern under the house and shoot water to the tank--taking less than an hour to fill the 3000 liter tank. |
 |
| We called upon Elders Miller and Ostler to both clean the paint and filth from the exterior as well as experiment on best methods to gracefully enter and exit the filled tank. The best cleaning tool we discovered for exterior paint on plastic is a small cheap teaspoon. |

| The new baptismal font of Quelimane in all its glory following its transformation and cleansing. Also shown are Aissa and Edna, the first ever individuals baptized in Quelimane, alsocleansed and transformed. Shown here with their newly adoptive mother (you can see the resemblance). They have been devoted English students of Debbie and have formed quite a bond with her. |
I am impressed with your new baptismal font. I remember Chieko Okasaki telling about her baptism in a horse trough. This will make an interesting example for talks on baptism. ggh
