This is a picture from Porto Judeo ... just about 10 miles from Base (a few miles from our house). Our town (Porto Martins) has not been thoroughly impacted by the intense rains here but many of the small towns have. This is a very small island. Many of these people are struggling intensely with the economy (made all the worse by the news that the American Base is basically closing the summer we leave -- 2014). They are not able to handle these extra life events very well. Please pray that we as Americans can help them. And please pray that they see the Lord in the midst of the gray skies. It has basically rained non-stop since Monday, and more rain is forecast for today.
I've never lived somewhere where so much rain and wind has occupied life. It's a totally different experience!
