After living here in Korr for almost 5 months, there are some things that I will never take for granted again.
Like electricity, for example.
In Korr we're so far off the power grid it's ridiculous. Praise the Lord for solar panels - we are so fortunate to have electricity in Korr because of them.
However, the batteries that our solar panels charge up need lots of distilled water. LOTS. But what do 4 twenty-something girls know about solar panels and batteries and keeping them healthy and fully functioning? Next to nothing. I mean, we didn't even know we should be checking these things! Thank goodness Intebessyie thought to come over and check them for us. ALL of our batteries were stone dry. Which, apparently means they could quit working at any time.
Yikes. These batteries are EXPENSIVE. That, and you have to buy them down country and bring them up yourselves. The next time we head down south? April. So tonight, Alicia and I with the help of Bagajo (our night guard) topped off our batteries.
Thank you Jesus for providing us with electricity, and this stunning view out our front door every evening:
Glad to hear they're refilled and you now know to keep an eye on the water levels! And what a gorgeous sunset! So much to be thankful for!
