Bad news. The shopkeeper, that gave me dubious change the other day, told us today that the rainy season hasn’t even begun yet. He said during the rainy season there’s no sunshine at all for weeks at a time! November is when it starts, according to the locals.

Eddie preached tonight at church a good word on the Word. He shared it with us at dinnertime so we could follow it in Spanish. Bethany was suppose to play the electric keyboard during worship but just before the singing was to begin, smoke came out of it then we lost all power for a few minutes. When power was restored everything came back on except the piano. Qué lastima!

At church, the children often stare at the girls. Katrina said they think blue eyes look like marbles and that our girls could possibly be blind. Also their light colored hair is a novelty. The children in the neighborhood come around the house every afternoon and call to the girls so they’ll come out with their volleyball and hit it to them. Some of them are getting quite good. It’s also a good time for the girls to practice their Spanish. The children here, almost without exception, are beautiful.
