turkey attack and running water

Wednesday while we were at one of the schools we teach at we walked out of the fence around the school to check a new building they are working on.  Some of the children followed us out, while outside the gate the children started provoking a huge tom turkey.  It began to try and attack the children so Elder Spradlin got between them and it and I tried to get the chldren back behind the fence.  The silly turkey was on the attack and followed us.  Elder Spradlin received a small wound on his leg before a man working on the new building made it to his rescue by grabbing the Turkey from behind by his wings and walking him back out and down the lane.  Okay, a little scary even - because this guy was huge.  Sure wish I had had pictures!  We finally got water again last night after about 4 days relying on our cystern.  Yey!  we rushed and did all of our laundry, dishes and even had hot showers.  It was great!
