Have I mentioned RAIN

Have I mentioned RAIN??? Wow, it's either feast or famine. And today it was definitely FEAST!! It started last night and rained and rained and got harder and harder. I had hoped it would ease off by morning...nope...no way. So, we headed to the airport, knowing that if it didn't lift some, the planes could NOT land. We had two planes with over 4,000 pounds of cargo. We waited and waited. They were long overdue...I called MFI in the US to see if they had called them...nope. Finally, above the generator noise, and other loud noises, I heard the sound of the radial engine. It seems no one else could hear it. I insisted it was up there somewhere. And watching the ONE little hole in the cloud, we saw it...and then it was gone. Well, it came around and did land. And it was POURING and we had to go out and unload the plane. By the time the second plane arrived, it had almost stopped raining, but we were all so drenched it didn't much matter!! Okay, it was bad for us, right? Well, consider the team...they had to ride all the way to town in the back of the OPEN truck...but some had rain gear, others had garbage bags on. I don't think they got as wet as we did.

This team has been fantastic. They got their work project done in 2 days. So, now it's visiting other missions, and some fun time, if the rains stop!!! According to the weather maps, it should be done. We pray it is.

But through it all, we are still praising God for His faithfulness and love. He knows what we are going through...and He IS with us. As it says in I Thess. 5: 16, "IN EVERYTHING give thanks...", so we are thankful. Not necessarily FOR the rain, but IN the rain.

Well, you all have a super great day in the Lord. We are blessed, and we pray you are blessed as well!!
