It has been a pretty dry wet season this year!  Dry and hot July and August were close to unbearably hot, September, to some degree, as well, and though October was cooler, it was still not wet.season wet. 

So in comes November, full of reconciliation for the lack of precipitation over the last 4 months!  It has been raining quite steadily since noon yesterday, with a few periods of super heavy rainfall! [aaahhhh, I love the rain!] 

While this is awesome and welcome after such a long dry spell, we also feel a bit apprehensive about the extended length of this downpour.  Since we have been here, October has been the month for floods.  Heavy rains come and the river beds are just not large enough to hold all of the extra rain water and the runoff from the surrounding mountains.  I was beginning to think that we would miss that this year.  But I might be wrong.  It might just be late.

So as we thank the Lord for the rain, we also ask for prayers for safety for those who live near the rivers.  Areas in cities along the rivers tend to be poorer neighborhoods for this very reason (the flooding).  Their houses are less than adequate to stand against the overflow of water from the rains and rivers.  Please join me in prayer for them.
