Technical Difficulties

During a spell of triple digit temperatures and high humidity, my air conditioning went on the blink. It would either not run when I turned it on, or it would make an awful screeching noise that was reportedly heard not only in the Practice Hall, but across campus. Thankfully, there are many helpful people that the Lord has provided. The other evening, I got back from school, and this is what I saw... it looked a lot bigger sitting on the floor than in looks in my wall. And what was in my wall in its place? A hole. Later that evening, some repair men came and put in some new parts and put it back into my wall. Now it works like a dream! Thanks to the repair men and praise God for a working air conditioner. (Concerning the weather, however, I should update you. The intense heat has melted into relatively constant rain this week. The rainy season is here!)


Last night, I was visiting some Taiwanese friends at their home. On the way back to my house, I was waiting at a light, it turned green, I put on the gas, something went "kerplonk" and my wheels no longer turned. (Yes, it was raining.) I turned my scooter off and started walking it down a nearby side street looking for some sort of mechanic shop. I knew there wasn't anything if I kept going ahead because I was heading out more in the country toward our campus. I prayed that there would be one close down this street. Well, the Good Lord was taking care of me. Seriously, I walked a half block and there was a Yamaha shop. (My scooter's a Yamaha.) Really, if my scooter was going to rip it's belt at any point, that was probably the best place. :) And that's what the problem was. The belt in my scooter had snapped and was just hanging there. A quick and handy guy had my scooter apart and the belt replaced in no time. Granted, I wish I didn't have to spend that money, but I was really thankful for the help and a workable scooter in just a few minutes' time.


Alright. That's all for now. :) Christ's hope and love be yours!
