We do more than just inspect missionary apartments. Sometimes the office asks if we can do some minor repairs. Sometimes we just see something that's broken and fix it. In this case, I wanted to install a new shower head at the sisters' apartment in Statte, but the crescent wrench in our tool box wasn't quite big enough. So we found a Ferramenta (hardware store) nearby, and with 5,50 euro, the right wrench was purchased and the new shower head installed.
As for our own apartment, a slow draining shower was no match for my sweet wife and her sporty yellow rubber gloves. "And away go troubles down the drain."
We enjoyed our trip to Taranto/Statte to fix the shower, deliver some stuff and do a "scambio" exchange with the Taranto sorelle. We enjoyed a lovely lunch of French fries and pizza at a restaurant on a beautiful, peaceful pedestrian only piazza in the heart of downtown Taranto. Then we got gelato and we made a visit to Precious, a new convert and her son Jarom (who really liked my sunglasses). Her humble circumstances reminded me that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone.
