Hello, friends!
The past few days have been the hottest of the year here in Omaha, with the heat index being north of 115 on some days. Of course, these were the perfect days for our air condition to stop working.
According to the repair folk, the folk who flipped the house did us dirty on a number of levels when it came to the AC. They bought the lowest quality unit possible (not ideal) but the bigger problems were that while they replaced the outdoor unit, they didn't actually replace the indoor coil, meaning there was a higher chance for something to go wrong. Add to that a poor soldering job on the pipes connecting the indoor to the outdoor unit that meant we were constantly leaving freon, and it really was just a matter of time before the system needed to be replaced.
What warmed (or cooled) my heart was how quickly our friends came to rally behind us. Immediately after we told our friends that the AC was out, we got two invitations to have dinner in air conditioned houses. Not only was it good to get out of our hot house, but we also were able to have some really sweet times of connection with friends.
Our new system is getting installed on Monday, so we still have a few days left in the heat. Thankfully, the next few days will cool off significantly, so we should be able to make it with just fans and open windows. Still, I'm so thankful for our friends, who were so generous and hospitable. While generosity and hospitality are not exclusive to Christianity, situations like this make me thankful to be part of the whole body of believers.
Have an excellent day!
