Rainy Season

We are so happy it is the rainy season again here. I have never loved rain so much as I do in Malawi. Not only does it provide relief from the heat (temporarily), but also it makes it much easier to get water. We just put all of our buckets, basins and pots under the tin roof to collect all the run-off.


We (as in all of Malawi) are appreciative of the rainy season because the crops are growing. Unfortunately, until harvest time, this is also called the Hungry Season. Not a day goes by that we are not asked for food which creates a lot of guilt and frustration for us. There are so many reasons to pray for rain.
