Never Look A Gift Horse in the Mouth

The washer saga continues.... we are going on 3 weeks now with a broken washing machine.  It turns out that the whole computer board was fried in a power surge.  SO the repairman said to Tony, You should probably get one from America.....this is NEVER a good sign.  Tony has searched for hours online to find this part, and it is not available in Asia.  SO we went to the place where we originally bought the washer and found out where there repair center is, (we were excited) We walk in and talk to them and they tell us that no they don't have one, and that it is too much trouble to order only one, so Tony says Can I order one?  No, just talk to the engineer (repairman) and see what he can do, but, by the way, he is not here today.  AAAAAAGGGHHHH!
   So in the meantime, our upstairs neighbors had an extra washer that belongs to someone else on their team, that hadn't been used for 3 years.  This washer takes over 4 hours to wash a load of clothes, leaks water all over the floor, and the spin cycle is broken.  (hence the gift horse title)  But, as totally frustrating as this is, at least I am not having to hand wash the clothes in the tub.  
  This morning Tony took the computer part to the repairman and they will prayerfully be able to fix it today.  If not, we will have to buy a new one, either way I will hopefully be washing clothes again normally soon!
