The Rains Have Come

After several months of drought, brown vistas, and lots of dust, the rains finally arrived in our area a few weeks ago. Some areas in Kenya are still suffering drought, but we are enjoying the lush green grass and the abundance of wild flowers. The grass on campus has already grown to as much as 3 1/2 feet tall at places. Campus grounds workers use pungas (long knives) and sickles to cut the grass--no lawn mowers here. Crops are once again being planted and are flourishing in our area. Even the cattle are looking better, as they are finding good grazing conditions. Water is no longer needing to be hauled, as the reservoirs and streams are again full of water. Great is your faithfulness, oh God!
