The Rains Came Down

We are happy to report that rains have come. Our vast salt flat has become like a very large shallow lake. Grass and desert plants have shot up around its shores. The people are celebrating as they are now starting to bring their animals home which have been hundreds of miles away searching endlessly for pasture. Famine is starting to alleviate a bit but we are still doing some minor food for work famine relief.

Also we have been able to successfully grow Amaranth as a dietary supplement. The locals have started to develop a taste for it. Not to mention our own enjoyment of it as we have no locally available vegetables. It has been our first successful home grown vegetable. Numerous other attempts have failed due to our salty water and lack of bees. But we praise God as we continue to look for ways to help these people both spiritually and physically.
