Rain During VBS
The third day of VBS in Boca del Rio, 
we were 
awakened at 4:30am to a serious rain storm- 
crashes of thunder, lightning that illuminated our room, and buckets of pouring
water. Then, we lost electricity (it is a 
sickening sound to hear the A/C unit go silent in this hot and humid climate!) What would we do for VBS?!It was still pouring at 9am, an hour before the camp. Our recreation yard was a flooded mud pit, the whole cement patio was slippery, and without electricity we had neither microphone for Bible class nor speakers for music class. We decided it was necessary to postpone VBS for a day.
As Paco and I drove around the village announcing the VBS postponement through a megaphone, we felt confirmed in our decision as we witnessed the standing water in the roads over ankle height! We could only pray that the weather would improve for the rest of the week.
