And then there was RAIN............

One day it was hot, hot, and sunny........ and then the rains blew in!

And how it BLOWS !!! when it rains here, it pours. the rain bounces

when it hits the ground, it fills the streets, it stands in the fields. the rain

is SO LOUD that you can't hear regular voices. The leaves of the banana

trees are ripped to shreds, and some of the small banana trees are blown

right out of the ground.

BUT everything is so lush green. and I swear that I can actually

"see " the tall grass growing. :-)

oh, and did I mention that I am STILL sweating, melting. sunny hot or

rainy hot.... it's still humid and drippy.

gotta love it!!

This is a shot taken off the front porch where I am living right now.

Lots of rain.... brings beautiful green tropical plants!!!

our new home

Hello !!! on the way to our new home, we get to drive past rice fields and livestock. Here is a brahma calf laying behind some bushes.

Here is our beautiful livingroom, complete with new wicker funiture. Please note the lovely window bars. all homes (solid homes not made of grass and thatch :-) ) have some kind of bars on the windows for safety and decoration. Our home has lovely leaf vines.

This is the view out our font door. we have a nice covered porch and a pretty little neighborhood.

AND here is the front of our place !!!!

Hello and welcome to May!!

My roommate, Eileen, (from Roseburg, Oregon, ) and I have rented a new home. It is cute and cozy and brand new... 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom... and did I mention it is brand new, never lived in. It is in a different neighborhood (muubahn) from where I live now.. but not too far... but far enough that I am now looking for a vehicle to purchase. (whew). We get to drive through country roads of rice paddies and grazing brahma cattle, trees and yes, we've even seen a few snakes already. Please join with us in celebrating the fantastic little home that our Father has provided for us. and join us in prayer as we thank him for the delightful sweet affordable place to make into our new home. thank you.
