RAIN!

I never in my life thought that I would be excited to see rain. When I got here I learned that Port Elizabeth was in the worst drought in the last 50 years. We must take quick showers and people here recycle water to water their plants with. I have learned a great appreciation for water. Yesteterday, the school that I was in (along with the rest of the public organizations in PE) stopped classes at 10 am to pray for rain. Although it is still very beautiful here, many plants are dying because they are not getting water. Farmers are loosing money because without water their crops are dying. Although, we have had rain the past 2 days, it was very light and not close to enough. Even the littlest drizzle makes us happy.
