So the prayers are working?

This morning I woke up, and for some reason my air conditioner wasn't working, and the room smelled a little odd. Of course, Rustamiyah always smells like a strange mix of sewage, sulfur and gunpowder, so I didn't think too much of it.

After starting my day, showering, etc., I went back to my room, and just happened to look at this outlet. It had caught on fire last night. You can see the cord running to the right- that goes to the air conditioner. This is unbelievable- it caught on fire while I was sleeping, and I didn't know it. (I guess it means I'm sleeping well)

Moreover, this box is six inches from me while I sleep. It is right next to the bed, and about six inches above me. My "comforter" I sleep under is a Army camophlauge colored poncho liner, which is Nylon and Polyester. My "comforter" is sometimes right up against this outlet. The fact that I didn't wake up on fire is a minor miracle.

So, for those of you praying for me, keep them coming. How ironic it would be to die in this country not from a rocket or mortar, but from an.... electrical fire??
