Hurricane Tomas

Our yard tends to flood very easily…so after 3 inches of rain on Thursday night, this is what it looked like…

between the main house and the wall against the pastor’s house.

   

 

Friday afternoon we piled onto the truck and drove around the town of  Leogane.

This is about a mile down the road from our yard.

 

For those of you that have been looking at cnn pictures (mainly my dad :), this picture may look familiar.

 

pictures of this river were also on cnn’s website. normally it’s very calm and shallow.

this little boy got creative and found something to float across the water in. 

 

Thanks to everyone who was praying for us!! We had some rain, but very little wind…nothing like we were expecting. Continue praying for the people whose houses are sitting in water and have no dry place to sleep. -Mandie
