Happy Rainy Season!

Well, it appears that the rainy season began in earnest yesterday afternoon, with a big storm that dumped a ton of rain on Kitwe. The storm blew over a tree behind our house, which fell on our roof, shattering a few of the asbestos sheets of which it is made. People from the Theological College arrived within an hour of the incident, and climbed up and put a tarpaulin over the biggest hole to try and prevent leakage. Still, our bathroom and places in our bedroom are pretty leaky, making it necessary to mop every hour or so. We think that the plan is to get the roof fixed today to see if that stops the leaks. If not, we may have to move (or "shift" as they say here in Zambia) to a new place. Pray for our poor house!
