17 Days No Electric

Thanks be to God, and the intercession of Blessed Mother Theresa, at about 6:10pm the power was restored to the Above Rocks Area... more importantly, to the St. Mary's Church compound. For the past 17 days we have relied on the gas generator for 12 hours a day: to keep the perishables cold, and sometimes frozen... now the roof top water tanks can be filled... laundry done... and fans on at night to keep the mosquitoes away. The level of thanks when the power returned was palpable as we ate a Fr Joe Pasta Dinner. Thanks to Jamaica Public Service (JPS) and the employees who have been working round-the-clock since the hurricane.
