Siberia BC

July 12...
The weather is nice and hot and perfect for doing laundry. And I'm doing lots of it!! We've gone though the duffels we left last year and the year before... now we've got way too many clothes!! But I'm washing as much as possible. It's not as easy here... I heat some water on the stove and then put that along with the cold water in the washer tub and then the clothes. I allow them to wash for 5 minutes. Then they need to be wrung out, and rinsed. Now there isn't much space to hang clothes. Here is a sample of what I work with. Everything beats having to do it all by hand, so I never complain.
If I hung the clothes outside, I'd have to sit out there all afternoon so no one would steal them... and you would wonder "why would anyone steal my clothes??" but they will.
Tomorrow is Sunday and a sort of "Day of Rest". We'll both go out to the camp and worship with the teams. Enjoy your LORD'S Day.
Love and prayers, Carol and Eivind


This is the tiny washer!

I don't envy your washer, but like you said it is better than by hand. BTDT. Hope the clothes dry fast!

No, Rebecca.... the clothes do not dry fast, depending on the fabric somethings a day and a half. But I'm not complaining!!
