Caught in the Rain

On Wednesday, Elizabeth's nephew died. He was brought in from Cuibet and was severely dehydrated. Thursday Elizabeth stayed home so Suzy and I went to her house to visit her and her nephews parents. Then yesterday, she came to the compound to invite us to the memorial service. Hargins, Joe Losee and I ended up going. Right as we got there, storm clouds showed up and thunder and lightening started. Joe was very concerned about getting wet and wanted to leave right away. Hargins and I didn't care about that and wanted to stay. Joe prayed for the family and then took off running, literally! Hargins and I stuck around for a bit. Elizabeth wanted us to stay for a meal, but we told her we had to head back. She gave us a Coke and we began walking back to the compound. It was pouring rain and we quickly were drenched. The rain hurt too! It felt like we were getting pelted with small rocks. It was so funny and we just laughed. As we reached the compound fence Sabet drove up. We were completely soaked so we told him we were fine and would walk the rest of the way. It was definitely a moment I will never forget.
