Rain, Rain

As i am typing this the rain is pounding so hard on the tin roof i am having a hard time hearing my own thoughts. the rainy season is in full force, and it is a huge blessing! I don't know how many of you fallow east african news, but there has been a horrible famine not too far from where i am currently living. the last rains were not sufficient enough to support people through the dry season (our summer), and it has really left a lot of people devastated. I hope and pray that these rains will last long enough to produce a good enough crop so that it will last through the next dry season.

Even though the rain sometimes limits my activities i am still having fun, and getting to hang out with all my animal friends. Yesterday i helped deworm 13 goats. Trying to open a goats mouth and force something down their throats is not an easy thing to do, but it was fun! This is weird, but one of my favorite thing to do is stick my fingers in the goat pen and the little goats come up and nibble on them. it is the best tickely feeling! And since i left my baby cow had her own baby, and i go by every day and give it a treat and a pet. it is very handsome little calf, and it loves to have its forehead and chin scratched.

Well that is all for now, hope that everyone is well!
