Who knew the rain would be so fun =)

The theme of this blog is RAIN =)

The past couple weeks there have been some amazingly wonderful fun things that have happened and they seem to revolve around the rain.

FIRST….

So it is 11:00 Wednesday night, I am finishing up some homework for a poster presentation that we were doing for our group about the World Health Organization when I was interrupted by the LOUDEST thunder I have ever heard! I ran out of our chalet to see the sky LIGHT up! It was a thunder storm unlike any I have seen! As we are standing outside someone says, lets stay out here all night and watch this. Then someone says, lets lay on the lawn and watch this. Then someone (most likely a boy) say LETS GET THE SLIP AND SLIDE OUT! I thought they were kidding

….o no….so we got the slip and slide out and had the most epic thunder storm slip and slide EVER! It was so much fun! =)

THE NEXT RAINY EVENT….

Saturday was Durban day round two! However the capstone of this day was the semi-final SHARKS rugby game.

My ticket was DD 813…little did we know that DD was literally THE LAST ROW. I am not kidding you guys we were at the last row. =)

As the game started (well it started late because there was as swarm of bees on the field lol) we moved down to closer seats. RUGBY IS CRAZY, every second I thought someone was going to die. It makes American football look so lame and makes the players who wear pads like wimps.

The winner of this game moved on to the cup finals and the game was super intense and kinda close. With 30 minutes left in the second half it started raining…then it started POURING…but the game had to go on =) it was so much fun to be in the rain and watch them play in the rain and then walk back to the van in the rain =) The sharks ended up winning so that was super fun =) First ever rugby game was seriously so much fun =)

THE THUNDER STORMS CONTINUE

For clinical this week I was at Ethembeni again which is the home visiting to HIV/AIDS patients ministry. This week francie and I got to be together and that was such a blessing because this was our first time in Africa being in the same clinical group. =)

We got to go to the rural area called Haza and hang out with some of the same families that I got to work with last time I went there. Francie and I were trying to be cool and balance the maze on our heads lol. well we could barely do it with without using our hands =)

It was super hot in the morning, but the clouds were present. These were those dark ominious clouds that you know are bringing rain. So while we were in a house talking and praying with a patient the sky let loose. =) Thunder was rippling, huge rain drops were dropping. It was crazy/beautiful =) I am so thankful for the chance to work with such a wonderful ministry =)

Another extremely wonderful activity that happened in the rain was DRESS LIKE YOUR ROOMMATE game night! So much fun so many games and SO many laughs! =)
