Last week we had a Gully Washer of all Gully Washers. This has been the worst rainstorm that we have seen since we have been here. The drainage systems were overflowing because the of the amount of rain that dumped so quickly.
If you zoom in on this pic, you will see a rat sitting on the wall. The water chased him out of his home. After it stopped raining and while we were cleaning up Stephen found a rat huffing and puffing. The poor thing must have been worn out from swimming or swallowing too much water.
Water from the street coming in under the front gate.
Flooding behind the training center. As I was walking around the property helping out, I was in calf high water. Our German Shepherd was in water up to her belly. The bottom floor of the training center was flooded out.
The drainage system on our propery that leads out to the road.
Flooding between the training center and the Alvorada church
Flooding in the Alvorada church. Water was flowing in the front door and out the back.
Moving benches out of the sanctuary and up on to the plateform.
After the storm, we pushed water and pushed water trying to get the buildings cleaned out. Many people worked together making a little more enjoyable.
Just a day in the life of a missionary in the Amazon Region.
