Friends


Boy! Are we blessed to have good friends. Last week we had Klaus & Sue arrive in Espungabera to help us out with the electricity in our house. The house when it was built was wired for a single phase of 220v. Which very seldom got to above 175v. As you know not the best situation for computers & fridges etc.


So, as the town has slowly been installing new cable we asked for 3 phases (of 3x220v)to be brought to the house, which they did. And we have been very grateful about that. But with the new electricity comes new problems. Which phase goes where and how does the generator fit into the situation? Praise the Lord for Klaus who knows much more than I do about such things.


Now we have electricity (when to comes from town ) which is evenly distributed throughout the whole house. And with a flick of a fancy switch the generator works the whole house not just parts, as I had it sorted. The phases are still not all equal in strength but the stronger are now connected to the more important thing in the house.


It's good to have friends, Praise the Lord.
