Day 6
Last night when we were trying to fall asleep, the room was quite hot and stuffy. After a little while a storm rolled in. At first, this seemed like sweet relief from the heat, until we remembered that the ozone generator had been installed earlier that day and had not been covered from the rain. So, falling asleep to a nice, peaceful thunderstorm turned into Amy, Amanda, and Ariela running outside at 11 pm in the pouring rain and mud trying to cover the ozone generator to keep it dry. From the beginning, we were planning on building a roof over the system to prevent any of it getting wet. However, because of the lack of rain we had let that fall into the back of our minds. Luckily, the generator was in far enough from the edge of the roof, so it was only reached by a few small splashes. We covered it with plastic bags and Amy's raincoat. Once we were satisfied that it was protected, we headed back to bed.
This morning was an exciting morning, since we were doing our training session for the employees of the Villa who will be using the system. We had ten participants in the session. Amy and Amanda introduced the system, its operation procedures and maintenance activities. The session went very well. The participants were attentive and had many good questions for us.
For the second part of the training, we demonstrated the system and gave the participants the opportunity to get some hands on experience with the system. Ray even had a sermon that correlated with how the system worked. The venturi represents the cross and allows the holy spirit (the ozone) to enter our lives, which makes us anew and ready to enter the world (the tank) to spread God's love and change the world. The group really enjoyed this and it even gave a little boost to remember how the system works.
At the end, we all tried the water we had produced. The Villa employees were very excited to try it out. It was fulfilling for our team to see how interested they were in our system and how happy they were to try the water. Some of them said it tasted just like the bottled water they buy. After all the hard work and trials the VWOS team has been through during the past few years, it felt like a big accomplishment to finally have it installed and working. And now that Amy and Amanda have graduated, this was the perfect ending for them as they leave the project.

Tonio enthusiastically removed the filter casing as part of the demonstration.
