When we went to visit my sister in NY this winter, we learned about snow conditions called the "lake effect".    Well, now that we are back in Kenya we learned about the African version of the lake affect.  We've been getting about .5 to 1 inch of rain every other day for the last 18 days.  It has been very wet here.  Then we had 2 days of sun and then last night we got 5. 3 inches of rain in about 5 hours.   This has lead to major mud slides in the community.    We are grateful that although severe damage occurred to the campus fence, nothing happened to any of the campus houses or the national's houses nearby.    We are very concerned that the road to the school has been weakened.  There has been such erosion beside the road that it may not withstand the weight of traffic.  Check out the photos.   The mud slide covers about 1,000 meters of devastation.   The photos work down the hill that is the side of the campus.  The last photo with Janelle looks back up the hill.  Thanks for your prayers.
