And the tent in the pasture went crash!

Typically, dry season begins to fade as the rains come in June.  This year, however, the rains have been slow in coming.  That is, until Wednesday night.  During the night, we got heavy rain for several hours, as well as winds.  As daylight dawned Thursday morning, we were greeted by this disheartening scene...

And the tent in the pasture went splash!

 Two entire sides of tent stakes had been pulled right out of the ground.  I guess as rain softened the ground, and the wind and rain pulled on the tent, they all gave way...

A slight change in morning plans; trying to drain water off the tent.

Thanks to Bob Stauffer and the Laborie guys in helping with some hard work - within an hour and a half, the tent was back in the air again.  Thanks to God, the only significant damage was one tear in the tent, and one broken fluorescent bulb! 

So, how many Americans does it take to change a bulb in Grenada?  (6, apparently)

Probably enjoying another story from Bob.  He's a great storyteller!

Thank you for your prayers.

Some of you observant folks might say, "But that was your last post"!  Good observation.  When I get big I hope to expand my vocabulary.  Thanks for your patience until then.

Ray & Sue Weaver came as OBMM representatives.  They were a great encouragement to all of us and we enjoyed the evenings of fellowship with them.

Kendra Petre came like a wise woman.  (bearing gifts)  Here the whole family, plus friends and neighbors are enjoying Ticket to Ride.  Thanks Willard & Jen!  It's been great having Kendra here with us - we're already dreading what it will be like when she leaves!

You will find this green blanket used frequently out in the football field and it shouts "Chldren, neighbors, and friends...lets go play with the teachers"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan is enjoing the new discovery of walking.
She turned one now and seemed to grow up all of a sudden.

Before Christmas, Debbie Miller and friends had given us some money to buy bicycles for our children.  Just recently we found two used bikes that are still in almost new condition.  Merry Christmas children!  They have been thoroughly enjoying them!

Some of the members of Laborie & Limes churches have been learning/practicing some songs for the past few months.  We had a very enjoyable evening (first program) with the Grand Anse Baptist church.  Here we are singing a couple encores and their choir joined us.  It's been a great experience sharing in other churches.  We still have two more programs to give before the end of June.

And now, we're in the middle of a week of tent meetings here at the Limes.
Bob Stauffer, from northern Minnesota is sharing with us.  

God doesn't ask us to be incredible.  Just faithful.
