Rain, Rain Go Away....

...Come again another day! Wow, we have sure had our fair share of rain lately. We are spending our last month in the United States up in Salem, Virginia with my family. The day we arrived it started raining and it hasn't stopped yet! The rain gauge at the closest elementary school showed we had over 8 inches of rain. Assuming some first grader didn't pour his bottled water in the gauge, that's a lot of rain! It is especially unusual for our family. Having spent four years in the desert of Peru, 8 inches is a lot of rain. That is the total amount of rain Lima has received in the last 80-100 years. Elizabeth was begining to play "Noah's Ark" yesterday. I was thankful that God gave us a rainbow of promise!

We are busily packing our things and taking care of last minute projects. We even have one new church to visit this month. We hope to enjoy some time with our family and friends as well. Please continue to pray for us throughout this entire process. Also pray that we will hear good news about Olivia's paperwork. This is a serious matter. Pray that we will be able to obtain her visa BEFORE we arrive in Peru.
