Tropical Storms and Summer Plans
The Storm
Saturday night was the first time in a long time that I was able to see lightning. It has been a pretty dry spring season this year without much rain; but, for the first time in three years, a tropical storm came through East Africa brining with it tons of rain and thunder. The pictures you see here are from the next morning. Streets turned into canals and poorer houses were flooded with knee deep waters. We were able to watch all of this through the security of your brick house and car, but for most here, they spent the whole night fighting back the rain and praying for it to stop. Obviously though, this doesn’t stop the children from having a fun time as most of them took to the streets to swim around. Events like this though are always an eye opening experience for me.
Summer Plan
I’m leaving East Africa this Friday and I will be heading to Tanzania to work in villages for about two and a half weeks. We will be sharing the Good News to people there and mentoring disciples. After Tanzania, my roommate and I will be going to the UK. I’ll be taking an online TEFL course to prepare for teaching next year and will also be attending a leadership training in Birmingham. If everything goes to plan, I will then take August off in Russia with my family which will be a relaxing end to a very exciting and busy year. Please remember me in your prayers as I will travelling a lot this Summer!
