The weather here has been paradise - shirt sleeves, not too hot, not too cold - until 3 days ago. We hit the rainy season and it lives up to its name. The average here is 1 inch of water PER DAY for the next two months. It just pours. But the good part is that it pours and then it clears up quickly and is gorgeous for awhile and then it rains again but much of the rain is at night so I like it - but it is hard to see so many people having to walk and work in the rain. We have a car so it doesn't hurt us like it does them.

| Our first downpour - buckets are at the base of our apartment stairs. |
 |
| Our apartment - the stove is next to a black barrel full of water to be used when the water goes off. We use this water for cleaning and cooking but not drinking unless we boil it first. The three white towers on the sink are the three stages of the water filter for our drinking water. |
 |
| This kitchen cabinet holds all our dishes and all our food. If it looks small that is because it is!!! |
 |
| Another barrel of water for flushing the toilet when the water is off. Not much counter space. |
 |
| Our mission home - connected to the mission office |
 |
| Greg sharpens his pencil as he wonders where his green visor and arm band might be. Soon he will get out the cash tray and distribute cash to all the vendors and missionaries - wall street it is not. |

| Hello mission office. What adventure will we have today? |
