Guam and Saipan have been in a really bad drought...which is strange for a couple of islands where it rains every day. It has hardly rained any since I have arrived and everything is so brown. I was talking to a man tonight that said he hasn't had to mow (well..."bushcut") his yard in six weeks! Today was mostly cloudy with a few showers here and there. About the time we started the van run, it started showering. Before VBS started you could hear thunder and see lightening. (This is always very exciting because it doesn't happen much...and lightening freaks everyone out.)
When we started our rotations, things went CRAZY. Pouring rain...high winds...I was pretty sure our snack tent was going to come down. We moved all the tables to the middle, but eventually, when the water outside starting rising under the tent, we had to give up and go inside and share the kitchen with snacks and crafts.
Here we are trying to move all the tables to the middle (before the water started rising).
I had to sneak through a classroom to avoid getting drenched. Here's a peak at one of the groups hearing about Elijah.
I knew we needed the rain, but I really didn't want the van drivers dropping off kids in that kind of weather. Thankfully, right before VBS closed, the wind and rain stopped. I learned from a few of the parents that were picking up their kids that several roads had flooded. Crazy night! (It was almost like being in OK.)
