We arrived back to our city last night from our Staff conference in Istanbul. We were excited to drop our bags off and head to the grocery store so we'd be able to eat in the morning. Not suprising to us, we couldn't get into our apartment right away. Usually it takes us a few trys to get our lock jimmied and opened. But last night after 25 minutes of trying we called our apartment owner. He was doing his prayers so our neighbors were nice enough to let us in and wait! He arrived and let us in though as soon as he opened the door and begain talking about the apartment we knew we were seeing things that weren't there when we left!
He was explaining the family below us had called him while we were away because they were getting water in their apartment. Well, it appears that a pipe in our apartment burst! We go into the kitchen and see that there is a bag tied to the pipe under our sink and is completely full and overflowing with water. The floors in the kitchen and living room were drenched, people's clothes rugs, suitcases, etc. got the brunt of the flooding.
They called someone to come in and fix it, though its not quite fixed. We turned the water off for a while so now we only get water in the back of our apartment. We have much to be thankful for though! Nothing was seriously damaged or destroyed, the men who came in to fix it were honest and didn't take any of our valuables that may have been sitting out and we can still stay here until we find our new apartment!
We are praying we'll find it as soon as possible and hopefully be moving within the next week! Please pray!
