Day 4 Clean Water U

Well, we just took our life/health in our hands and drank the water that our team had purified from the lake water. There was a sample of it down by the intake valve and you could see all kinds of wiggly things in it, besides it was vaguely green. Of course, I am teasing, the water tasted remarkably good and chemical free. The people of Latin America do not tolerate the taste of chlorine so the systems are designed to purify water without chlorine.

It has been an inspiring and exciting 4 days. Like Chuck, I did not learn a great deal about the germ theory of disease but got wonderful ideas and methods for teaching the germ theory of disease, how to use limited clean water, and when and how to wash your hands. But, more than that, we all got inspiration from others who are planning water installation trips, and from those who have already installed water systems and are planning more. So many dedicated people and congregations! The opportunity to meet and talk and plan with others who are doing water mission is just remarkable. So many opportunities and so many things to be done. I can hardly wait. Dale
