Rains


The monsoon was in full force today with major rains as people tried to go to church. The rains are so heavy that they really do shut down the city to some extent. Most people travel by motor bike, bicycle, or foot so this would be a very wet experience. All the buses even have open windows because of the other eleven months of intense heat and no access to A/C. You will find that schools even shut down because of heavy rains. Moriah and I did not go to church because of this. We are still trying to keep her in a lot to protect from mosquitos and heat and other things until she is a little bigger. Rob went to a church and preached on Psalm 147. He talked about God crying out for the plight of the poor. The pastor of the church is Gerald and he is a very happy man. He is always smiling when I see him. He loves to practice english so he calls often. His life is also an incredible answer to prayer. He and his wife literally hate each other several years ago. They were ready for divorce. He met with the missionaries here many times and through prayer God restored their marriage. God helped them to understand His heart for each other. This is a major blessing.
