Out with the old and in with the new - boy, am I glad! Some missionaries that live in this community are "burnt out" and returning to the States for a time of rest - we know all about that! They sold most of their stuff and so we got blessed by a few things of theirs. This couch was one of them. I'm SO happy to not have the ugly brown couch in my living room. This one will match my mauve decor and also fit our whole family as well as be more comfortable! We got it for a very good price. I really wanted hunter green, but hey, you can't have everything! 
We also got this large tank that will hold 530 gallons of water! That will be very handy for times when the water goes off. It is common here to put tanks such as this on your roof. They do not have water 24/7 and so the reserve water enters your house by gravity until the water comes on again.
Doug and 2 other guys hoisted it up onto our balcony. From there they had to get it up on the roof. They say these things are light, but don't be fooled. Doug said they probably weigh between 150 and 200 pounds and they're very bulky.
Doug used a rope to help guide the tank up the ladder. Easy does it!
Hooray! It's up! Doug spent 4 or 5 hours on the roof on Saturday hooking up the tubes etc. to the tank. It was a heat index of 111 degrees and the roof is black. He was very hot, drained, and burnt when he came in. Thank the Lord we now have a good amount of reserve water!

The couch is beautiful, Kim, and I'm sure the extra reserve of water will come in handy. God is so good!
