Rain, Rain, Go Away

It's been raining A LOT here. In the morning it may be sunny and look like it will be beautiful day, but then it will start raining in the afternoon and continue pouring on and off all afternoon/night. I actually love the rain. I love putting on my rain boots and taking my umbrella and walking through big mud puddles. I like how hit cools everything off and how a lot of times the clouds linger over the trees and mountains. I like how sometimes there are thunderstorms with really cool lightning.

Earlier this year we were praying for more rain b/c we were in a drought, but now we're praying for the rain to stop b/c it's causing lots of problems. Part of the main road in the city that we take has collapsed and is impassible. The river has been too high to cross many times. The tractor has been needed to pull vehicles out of the muddy patches on our road. Because of all these things it's taken people anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours to get into the city when it usually takes about 45minutes. As you can imagine, this can be very tiring for those who commute back and forth every day....all this to say, please be praying!

Pray for the safety of those in the city and everyone who has to travel on these roads!

Thanks!

Super Heroes

Today we were reading a book about super heroes. One of my students said, "Right, Miss Hannah, there are no real super heroes?"
I replied with, "You're right. They aren't real people, just pretend."
In all seriousness, the student then responded, "But, dads are super heroes. They do lots of really cool things like make breakfast for us every morning!"
