RAIN!!

In Canada when it rains, people get grouchy, complain, and run for cover... not here. Rain here is a blessing.

I arrived in Kenya on December 28th, until today I had not seen any significant rainfall.

The area where we are working has been facing a very serious drought... and had not received a good rain for quite some time. We arrived at the build site (Emori Joi), with a looming black cloud hovering over in the distance. Our guides began making bets on how long it would be before the rain came... it was around 5 minutes before we started getting pelted.

Although our building was cut short, I was so happy for the famers and families in the area. Freshly planted crops were given the boost that they needed today, and the dusty earth was temporarily replaced with puddles and mud.

Excellent.

lala salama.
