Rain, rain, and more rain.....

Well, as usual, we are starting out the new year soggy and wet.......such is life in Brazil :) Unfortunately, this year the rain is creating quite a mess and many people are suffering. Land slides are the biggest problem and over 500 people have been killed this past week, buried under tons of mud or swept away by flood waters. Those living in the weakest structures (favelas)are at most risk. All around us there has been flooding, smaller land slides, and impassable roads but, fortunately, we live on higher ground and have less problems.
.
Please pray for those who have lost friends and families and for our safety as we drive on the dangerous roads.

In HIM,
Pete and Jodi
