When you ask someone here how many seasons there are, they will tell you two. Rainy season and dry season. Rainy season usually starts in December and helps to ease the long, hot days of summer. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to experience long months of drought here, and this year is no exception. We are into February and the rains still have not come. I think they are skipping us this year! So, with 110 degree temps (and a heat index of 130), all we can do is survive. School days seem to drag on forever, and nights in the bush are almost unbearable. Fortunately, we have had a lot to keep us entertained this season and though the days go by slowly, the months are going by fast. Here are a few highlights from our hot, hot, hot summer...
 |
| Ministry is going real well! Grant and his national partners, Chris and Jonoro, led a leadership training for the Mahafaly leaders. |

| We are continually amazed by how much these men are growing in the Lord! |
