Would the Flooding Keep the Students Away?

The rains came and then the flooding...but students came anyway!
We heard it raining during the night; by Monday morning it was still raining heavily.  We were able to get to breakfast, but on the way back, the shortcut through the marsh was impassable.  By lunchtime, the entire area was flooded and we had to be shuttled by car, wondering if we would make it.  After lunch, the rain had stopped and the water had started to recede.  The whole town had been flooded.  We began to plan what to do if few or no students came.  We managed to get back to our quarters to get our teaching materials.

When class time came, about half of the children came, which was wonderful considering the unexpected deluge, but ALL but ONE of the adults were there as well!  Today the children were presented a Bible story, and a testimony was shared with the adults.  Both seemed to be positively received.  We appreciate your prayers as we continue to test the waters.

Nathan and Brian have left on "political" business; please keep them in your prayers also.
