I met with the president of the village council yesterday concerning the OSU water treatment project. I was troubled to hear that she's having a difficult time getting the people to participate. They're saying that they have used the dirty water for so long that they become immune to the diseases that it causes; it's too much work to pour water into the filter during the day, and they think $25 is too much to pay for one of the filters; OSU engineering department will pay the rest. Remember, that purchase would last for several years and yet they are willing to pay a dollar and a half every day for a 3 liter bottle of Pepsi. I think we may have a problem with priorities…. We continue to get things in order for the group that will begin arriving tomorrow. I think we have some really good projects and activities. Today we are going to San Pedro to tie up some loose ends and pick up Linnell Fields and a couple of her friends.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I continue to be amazed at how much more I get done just by getting up an hour earlier. It seems like I am getting almost twice as much done. I keep bringing it up because if I don't, I know from experience that within 30 days I will have backslidden to my old ways. I know from further experience that I won't get everything done. I've had to take the position that if it's important it will come forth as an issue; if it doesn't come forth as an issue, it probably isn't important.
