Choluteca, Honduras has been without rain since last November. It may have rained five times since May of this year. On the second day of the project a bad thunderstorm appeared. The North Americans got inside the incomplete construction under the boards for safety. Marie motioned for them to come for shelter under her make shift home. Surprisingly it was dry in this structure. Our translator, Maida, is extremely scared of thunderstorms. Suddenly the team started singing hymns as Maida joined in the team saw Maida become calm. As they continued to sing Maida started singing along with them. Rita shared an evagi cube with the children while under this shelter. Everyone in front of Rita with the help of Maida was watching as Augustine, the husband and father, was listening very intensely as Rita shared the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Larry looked up to see Diego come walking in from the rain. He had been out there in the storm and no one was aware of his absence. Diego is one tough little dude. He was not afraid of the storm as he calmly walked in to the structure soaking wet from head to toe. The entire team shared how this thunderstorm brought an oneness for each of them. They all worshiped, shared and stayed dry together for this short period of time. God stopped them from working long enough to get to know each other a little more intimately. Thank you God for your perfect timing.
"As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him."
Psalm 18:30
