Rain Rain On My Face...

Hasn't Stopped Raining For Days!

Oh my word....the rain has been incredible. Matamoros needed rain so badly, but the city can not handle it at all. Sorry that we have not blogged for a while, the Internet has been horrible....I'm thinking because everything is flooded. It has rained non stop for about three days now. We went out to our colonia on Sunday, but did not feel it was safe for yesterday nor today. So we as leaders have had to come up with a Plan B. The responsibility of entertaining a group of missionaries in a third world country has been interesting. For example, today groups are building bunk beds (for our large group next week), going to the laundry mat (to wash laundry for the staff and all the kitchen laundry...because we line dry stuff here), we are painting and patching some inside stuff, etc. It has been hard to come up with jobs, but at the same time very exciting for me, because I am pretty good at thinking creatively and organizing large groups of people (thanks Teen Advisors). I am a PF (Project Facilitator) this week, so it has been fun to lead people during such a crazy week.....Praise God, for equipping me with Plan B thinking.

Despite all the rain, life is still wonderful here....as far as working for the Lord, and getting to lead people in mission work. I will admit that with all this rain it has had Will and I wishing we were in Columbus, cuddling in our bed or going to see a movie (we miss movies the most...or at least the time and energy to watch them). Will even threw out eating at Jason's Deli before we went and saw an afternoon movie....and that is when I had to cut him off...and say I am thankful I am here...I am thankful I am here.

Sunday's church service went well and we had a great time fellowshiping with the church members. We have a nice group this week and they said in a meeting they like me....so that is nice. Today is Will's day off, so he is still sleeping and I am about to take him breakfast in bed...it might be wet from rain, but I think he will still enjoy it.

Thanks for reading, commenting, and praying....Karan Anne

P.S.- We are up to 7 scorpions and one stung Vera...she is ok! Also, y'all are not going to believe this, but our new camera stopped working yesterday...what is God trying to show me?!?
