Rain in Africa
It’s so cliche but I figured I would write about it anyway.
So it’s HOT here in West Africa, I know its hard to believe that it’s hot in Nigeria when we are at least a hundred miles or so away from the equator. And even though we have been going from one hot country to the next for the last eight months, this is too hot. It’s well, Africa Hot and I still have a really hard time sleeping when its hot at night. I just wasn’t built for this. The good part is that it is rainy season here and we have had a couple of nice rainy days. But in talking to some of the locals normally it should be raining every day right now but it’s not.
The day before yesterday it had been a couple of nights since I had gotten any sleep and so I was talking to Katie (One of our squad leaders) and she said that she would pray for rain. Not more than a couple hours later it started raining and it kept raining off and on and stayed cloudy all evening and into the night and it was one of the coolest nights we have had yet. And it reminded me of how it snowed the last day I was at home, which was way out of season and it didn’t just snow it snowed over three inches. And that I had been praying that it would snow before I left because other wise it would be more than a year before I saw it again.
I am not saying that I am going to get a job as a weather man when I get back home and pray all my predictions into existence or anything. I am just saying join me in praying for rain in Africa and lets see what happens.
