Thursday, June 14th
Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. . .
Upon rising in the morning, to nobody's surprise it was again - or still - raining. This was the first morning it was raining early enough to keep me from going out exploring, walking, or biking. I just managed to start packing my materials to prepare for the move fromt he guest room into the apartment I'll be staying in for the summer.

After much discussion, Janice and I decided that rain or not we would take the drive up North to Nago and then I would hike Hiji Falls with Gay. We prayed for nice enough weather to make that happen. We opted to leave early enough to stop along the way to visit Manzamo and take some pictures along the beautiful coast. Well, God knows best! His timing was perfect. While we were driving it was nice enough for Janice to get some great pictures and while at Manza mo the sun actually shone for a few minutes. It was beautiful.
In Nago, we met Mary and Gay Grenninger for lunch. Gay and I drove north on our own to hike the falls. For those of you who have done the falls before - not much has changed. There are still numerous stairs and it is stil a beautiful hike. God was faithful and kind to Gay and I. We had a great visit, loved the scenery, but above all praised God because He kept us dry! Well, we were dry from rain anyway - - He did allow us to prespire some in the huidity with our exercise! 8 ) The rains were making the falls flow in a way I have never seen them before. It was well worth the time and effort!
The moment we got back into our car and shut the door, it was like the clouds split open. All the rain God had held back all day poured forth. At times, I couldn't even drive 50 KM per hour because it was raining too hard.
After exchanging Gay for Janice (who was able to do some shopping, touring, and beach combing with Mary while we hiked) again we drove back down to OCSI and had dinner with Joel and Gail Anderson. They gave us some helpful hints about their apartment, which we will be moving into today.
