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.
