Where's the water?

When we lived in Samoa it was not uncommon for the water to turn off. There was no storage system in the country, so if it didn't rain and the streams went dry, you could run out pretty quick. I'm sure the water went off for other reasons, too. It was annoying to be in the shower covered in soap and not know if it would come back on in a minute or two or several several hours.

Eventually, the Church put up a water tower in the village and that helped. Mom learned to keep extra water in the house. When she and dad went back as President of the Missionary Training Center they had a bathtub in their home and she kept that full so they could flush the toilets. She was good at adjusting.
