Let it rain!


Today was one of my favorite kinds of days here in Benin. When we woke up the sky was still somewhat dark. The sky was cloudy and there was a cool breeze. Rain was definitely on its way. This is just about the only occasion for one to wear a jacket in this country. Tori and Timothy never miss an opportunity to put on their jackets. While every other person in this country sees rain as a reason to run for cover and shut every door and window tight, we see it as a time open every window! We love the scent of the rain and we want to feel those cool breezes. Tori and Timo put their jackets on, grabbed the umbrella and headed out the door. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Let it rain! Thank you Lord!

Love this picture!! The kids know how to get to their uncle because I love watching it rain myself. Every time I think about how much rain we need here, it's not often that I miss an opportunity to think of you guys and how much rain means to you.

Have a great 4th of July!! Love you all so much!!
