saved in the nick of time

On Thursday we started having electrical problems and our power would go off and we noticed that our power box was hot. We didn't know what to do so we called around and found out that one of the new members of our ward was an electrical engineer. We called him up and he came over and looked at our box. When he took it apart he found a little piece of plastic that was behind the electrical connections. It was melted some and he said that it had slipped back there and stopped the connectors from making full contact and that was what was causing our problems. It ruined a couple of the black things in the box (I don't know what they are called) so he had to replace them. He went up to Provo on the 24th and got us some new ones and fixed our electricity. He only charged us for the parts. He said that a long time ago he and his wife had decided if ever people had an electrical problem that was a life and death situation where the house could catch on fire he would do it for free. So we were really blessed, since he said that the box could have caught fire and burned down our house.
