Euria's well

A few weeks ago we finished a well for a man named Euria.  Euria is married to a lady named Margaret and they have ten, yes ten (10) children.  Ten children by the same women is pretty incredible.  Here in Uganda you see men having ten children, but they usually have more than wife, but not Euria, he is a one woman man.  Euria's well was particularly challenging.  We spent the first two days slamming a pipe in the ground and only went one meter.  Not a great start!   Fortunately things got a little easier as we went on.  After two weeks of drilling we were finally able to case the well at 18 meters (~60 feet). We would have loved to have gone deeper, but we hit granite bedrock and God gave us enough wisdom to know when it is time to call it quits.  After casing the well, we took our time washing the well and conditioned it to make sure it produces a lot of water.  Today I was able to stop by Euria's home to get some pictures of the completed, cemented in, final product.  Euria was there along with a few of kids and his mother-in-law.  They were all very happy with the well and were very appreciative. I thought I would share with you about Euria's well and let you see some of the pictures.  Enjoy!
