Today it's raining in Antigua, "lluvia" in Spanish. Big surprise. Winter here, the rainy season, lasts until October 20th, when apparently the sun comes out in full force and we'll have to routinely coat ourselves with some of our sweet 100SPF sunscreen. Until then we are stuck with rainy afternoons and occasionally rainy mornings like today.
We were soaking wet by the time we walked the 5 blocks from our house to the cafe that is run by a local mission. We were going to meet with one of the missionaries, Steve Otto, to help him sort some pictures. Steve is the coordinator for La Iglesia del Camino's short term mission teams from the States and he is generously finding some ways for us to serve. http://iglesiadelcaminogt.com/english/index.html
We're going to pick out the best short term team photos for future use.
Next week, we're going to work with a short term team from Tulsa every morning putting together prefabricated metal houses for some of the most destitute tropical storm Agatha victims in the nearby village of Pastores. There are 12 to complete and Steve is optimistic that two extra pair of hands will make a big difference--as long as it doesn't keep raining all the time.
