Hailey and I took our first trip alone into the nearby village when Micah was taking a nap a few days ago. One of the other volunteers offered to read a book outside our home in case Micah woke up from his nap early (of course he did, but Carol rocked him back to sleep in our hammock). It was fun to get out just the two of us, and was especially fun to cruise around together on my motorcycle – that is, until the downpour began. We got absolutely drenched on the way home. We contemplated stopping at a house for shelter, but quickly realized that we have to cross the river at several places. Often, after a big rain, the river rises so much that a motorcycle is unable to cross. We did not want to get stuck away from Micah, so we decided to continue in the storm. Here are a few pictures of our trip – take a look at how wet we were when we returned.
A Few Fun Pictures:
The sun shining bright as we left...
and the rain cloud we spot as we head back home...
and us arriving home drenched and happy!
Thank you for sharing your life with us through this blog. I don't always post anything after I read, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you. What a terrific experience!
