Downpour

Yesterday afternoon the skies opened, and the real rain came down. It was quiet a downpour. We loved it. The rain stopped around five o'clock; then the air was nice and fresh. Church was at seven, so there was no problem with the rain.

The church had not been able to meet in the evenings for two and a half months because they did not have electricity. It turns out that the person whose name was on the account was not the owner of the property. This person stopped paying the bill, of course, but the church did not know about it until they found their lights did not work. It took two and a half months and three trips to the big town to get the whole thing untangled. Last night was their first evening meeting, so there was just a handful in attendance. It will take a while to get the people back on the habit. We have notice that consistency has been a problem because of different factors. Please pray that the leadership can be consistent.

We are getting ready for the big event on the 21st. There is a big TV personality coming to speak and give his testimony at 7:00 pm. We are going to walk around the town twice with invitations. In addition, there is going to be a big Mothers' Day celebration in town on Saturday the 15th. We are also going to take this opportunity to pass out fliers. Please pray that we have good weather both when we are out walking passing out fliers and on the 21st, the day of the event. I will still have crafts and a talk for the ladies at 3:00, and the clown is coming again for the children. Also pray for good attendance, decisions and good follow up by the local believers.

Until next time, from the beach...
