Living Water...

Are there words in English or Portuguese to describe the moment when a family turns on a faucet in their own home for the very first time?  I remember hauling water when winter pipes were broken, our children were small, we had two in diapers...but that was for 4 days.  Oh, how I love that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day -Saints is helping people all over the world with water...and with living water.   

The government officials were so thrilled to honor the opening of the water lines to an area in Mosteiros.

What an occassion to celebrate and remember.  The TV and radio were all there at the home of a blind recipient. The neighbors were all thrilled for him. They turned the knob and water came out!  Imagine...water just by turning a handle!

There is also 'Living Water' for those who have vision beyond earthly sight...and it is available for all!  Imagine...just for learning how to kneel...

I know I am commenting all the way around, but how can I not? Each post is beautiful in and of itself.

What a sweet experience. I am going to try to appreciate things more. Love the picture of people videoing it! I love that they are all so excited with their neighbor! AWESOME!
