Oh! And something crazy that happened this week, I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and the light suddenly sparked and we had no power. We finally got it working the next morning as long as we didnt flip one particular switch for the bathroom. Then when we came home that night, we accidentally flipped the switch and the whole apartment went out and we couldnt get the lights or power back on. We were really tired so we just went to sleep and decided to worry about it in the morning. Needless to say, it was really difficult getting up at 6:30 in the morning with a no power and only a little flashlight to light the way. I just about died during morning exercise and pushed a lot of buttons on the breaker box (is that what that is?) and finally got the power to work. We called the mission office to see if they could tell us what to do, and they said to change the lightbulb or something. So, when we got home from working, I stood on a chair and went to take off the glass dome surrounding the light and water suddenly spilled all over me. The bowl was completely filled with water! In my shock, I tried to get it away from me, and threw a bunch of it in Sister Lanctot's direction. All she could say after that was, "That was a bad surprise. That was a really bad surprise..." We still have no idea what caused the water, and even after talking to a lot of people in charge of the apartment. Weird. Well, just pray that we won't die.
