Rain Rain Go Away!

It’s been 3 weeks of steady rain here in Tobo (like 22 inches!), with only a handful of opportunities to see the sun and we’re ready for the rain to go away! Rain like this has an effect on many things here in the tribe. Since we rely on the sun for power through our solar panels, we’ve had minimal power which ups our generator usage and in turn ups the cost of living in here. Rain affects our clothes drying capabilities J. Rain also affects the people here. We just had our first believer’s meeting in 3 weeks on Sunday since the rain and mud has discouraged the believers from meeting. And finally, rain affects our sanity because our kids are stuck here in the house for days on end with no good outlet to their endless supply of energy!

We’re praying and hoping however, that the rain (and clouds) will not affect this weekend when we are supposed to get the Knapps, our co-workers, back from their time of furlough in the States. Please pray that their flights will make it in! We are also prayerfully not allowing the rain to affect our attitudes and resolve to live here in the tribe during these hard times with no power, no outdoor play time, no fellowship, and no evidence of growth in the believers here. We are so thankful that God uses these times to grow us and we know He has us here for a reason although the rain and clouds blur our vision from time to time.

Thanks for your prayers for our family and for the Tobo church, keep them coming!

Your Hands & Feet determined to stay dry and to keep to that plow,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden
