Dios Sabe

Usually no news is good news. Unfortunately, we have news about the second well. There have been a series of unfortunate events. Tuesday the bailer, the thing that gets the mud out of the hole, got stuck down in the well. When trying to get the bailer free, the cable broke. After many prayers and multiple attempts, Rich was finally able to fish the bailer out. 

Yesterday, while Rich was checking over the rig he noticed one of the main drive gears was worn out and about to break. For safety reasons we can't drill until the part is fixed so now we are looking at options on how to repair it.

Regretfully, we had to cover the well yesterday and leave it until after the summer. There is a small chance the government may employ someone to finish it but, the odds of that are very small. The well is 220 feet deep and still no sign of water. We hate to have to make such a depressing blog entry but, that is real life here. 

Somethings go better than you could have imagined and some just don't go at all. God knows the purpose in all things and we will continue to pray for answers. Many of our neighbors often say "Dios sabe" when we don't have a human explanation for things, which means "God knows."
