Rain, Rain, Come To STAY!





This Father and Son duo were THRILLED to welcome the rain when it started a little over a week ago. It only took a matter of moments to get drenched to the skin in this downpour.
It will never cease to amaze and delight me when the rains come... even though it creates massive amounts of mud, mess, and muckiness, the lit faces of EVERYONE you see in Tanzania testifies to the JOY that comes with the rain.

Nevermind that most Tanzanians walk to school, work, market on the roads of muck. Nevermind, that with the rain comes cool nights and the onset of sickness for many.

Rain means that the corn can grow- which is LIFE to so many.
It also means access to water for living and perhaps continued electricity supply if there is enough!
May I never complain because of the "inconvenience" of rain.
