Electrical and Bank

We got our electrical bill this morning. This is our 3rd one since we have been here. Our first one was 14,000 rupees (about $350). Our 2nd one was 3500 rupees (about $90) and our one today was only 1536 rupees (about $40). We used the air conditioner every day when we first arrived and when we got the bill we couldn't believe how high it was!! Of course we never used air conditioning in Idaho. The 2nd month we felt better about the little bit we used the air conditioner. This month, we are thinking we will use the air conditioner when its hot and be thankful and not worry so much about it.
We also made a trip to the bank. We needed change so Elder K decided to go to one bank while I went to our usual bank. Getting change is impossible here and you take what you can get when you can get it. I got lucky and got all the change we needed today. Elder Kasper got 10's but no 50's or 20's. It's very interesting to go to the bank. There is always 2 long lines of people. The first time I stood in line. A man who works there came to see what I needed. You need to remember, I'm at the back of the line. I told him that I need change. He said, "Come with me." So I followed him to the teller window. He took my money and went behind the counter and handed it to one of the tellers who was helping someone in the line. The teller immediately stopped what he was doing and got my change. I said thanks when they handed it to me and left. Today the same thing. Only this time a man at the desk nearest the teller said, "Madam, what do you need." I told him change. He said, "Come, Sit!" So I did. He asked what kind of change and took my money, walked behind the counter and the teller stopped what he was doing and got my change. The nice man who sits at the desk brought back my change and I said thank you and left. I found Elder K. and told him what had happened. He was in line. There was a lady behind him that was trying to cut him out of the line. (cutting you out of the line is the tradition of how the game is played here) He looked to me like he wasn't in line, but I noticed his hand in the window with his money underneath it! He didn't muscle the lady out of line but he kept his place in the line. We've learned if you don't snuggle the person in front of you, someone jumps in front of you!!
Elder K. says it's easier for me because they think I'm Princess Diana. Thats a joke between us because when we first came two teenagers told me that I looked like Princess Diana!! (Ha Ha!!)
