After months of wondering what was wrong with the water cistern and pump, God lead us to a person that could help us out and boy did he. I explained our situation to him on Friday and that the construction guys doing the cistern did not seem very confident about their pump and plumbing skills; however they had given it their best shot (and probably did better than I would have). This man, Jose, looked at the pump and how everything was assembled and quickly made some suggestions which included changing some of the piping to a wider diameter, changing the motor to the pump (as the other one fried - probably because it ran without water for a little while), changing something with the electrical and a couple of other suggestions. So after cutting some of the concrete and re-plumbing the cistern, he called me today and said we are good to go. They reworked everything, checked the pressures and all is working. And.... he will guarantee his work. I go back Thursday to check it out. The cost top fix was much less than expected, so another big blessing - less than $60 for labor and less than $70 for material. Would have cost me much more stateside!
We have been praying about this problem for awhile so that we could find a solution, especially since I am not in Chichi more than a day and a half at a time and not much of a "fixit man" - I am more of a find the "fix-it man". The saying here is always, "Primero Dios", which is another way of saying "trust in God". As always, He is there to resolve our issues.
