The rainy season is officially here. It started on Tuesday and has rained part or all of everyday since. The above picture is my house on Tuesday night. The bad news is that is not the only places it was leaking. We had pans and bowls all over the place. We had someone work on the roof Wednesday. Some of the places were fixed and some were not. And then, of course, we discovered a few new leaks. We had the roof worked on again Thursday and the same thing happened. We thought we had all of the leaks fixed except three or four. Until tonight that is.
I guess we will try something else tomorrow.
The rain is a welcome relief from the long dry and dusty weather we have been having. The leaks in our house are annoying, but we are staying dry. Hundreds of people have no place in which to stay dry. Hundreds more have little shelters in which they live and the rain rushes through, soaking both the people and the few belongings inside. I can imagine when someone is soaking wet, it is hard to sleep.
Groups begin arriving Saturday. We will be able to replace some of the leaky houses. Gracias a Dios.

i just read your blog. what a mess with the leaks...but you aren't going to lose any sleep over it cuz you just don't worry about stuff like that.
i will write you an email tomorrow. my brain is not working too good right now. I guess i am tired.

teri, seeing the poverty there everyday in honduras really keeps you grounded and grateful for what you have....instead of getting upset over all those leaks in your roof you are worried about the ones who barely even have a roof at all. you have so much compassion in your heart. i do hope you can get your roof fixed though so that you don't have to spend extra time and energy on that when you have so many other important things to do all the time! love ya, carla
