and the rain continues...

Valle de Sula. En la zona norte, las personas afectadas están siendo trasladadas a otros sitios.Valle de sula. Debido a las fuertes lluvias que se han presentado en la zona norte, varias viviendas ha resultado dañadas.valle de sula. Las fuertes lluvias que se han registrado provocaron el desbordamiento de los ríos que pasan por las partes bajas.The rains continue to fall. We are now going on day number 5 of it raining here in Santa Ana. Last night as I tried to sleep I kept waking up as I heard the heavy rains beat down on our tin roof. There was even one point last night I woke Dorian up and said oh honey I feel so bad for these people that have water running through their houses and inches and inches of mud in their house.
Many have already lost their homes due to landslides and many are on the verge of losing their homes. Bridges, livestock, crops, homes, have been destroyed.
All despite all of the destruction many people continue to put their trust in God. Their faith is amazing!!!!

Took this little section below from another missionary living here in Honduras.....

"Many people have said that they haven’t seen flooding this bad since Hurricane Mitch destroyed southern Honduras in 1998. But despite all of the destruction, I have been encouraged and blessed today. The hope and trust of the people here is amazing. One sister told me today, “God is in control. He knows what he is doing. Sometimes God takes good things away from us, but he only does it to help us rely on him more. It’s a lesson. I know he will carry us through.”


Please say a prayer for all of those being affected by the rains.
