God is everywhere!

There may be times down here in Dominica where we feel completely homesick, desiring cold A/C, a hot shower, or even just wanting a propane tank in order to cook dinner but never is there a time down here that we don't feel as though God is constantly with us. I feel like more times down here that God puts his mark everywhere we are whether it is walking into the local store and hearing Christian music being played, walking down the street and hearing a local belt out a classic hymnal. But the best sign we see here is the beautiful rainbows. Nature here is one of the most beautiful things about living here in Dominica and the rainbows found here are no different. They are absolutely incredible. You can see from one end of the rainbow to the other. Here is a picture I took of one of the rainbows that I saw. The picture doesn't really do it justice but they are awesome. God always finds a way to remind us down here the he will never leave us.





This picture was taken right before Christopher's football intramural game. Now keep in mind that rainbows come with rain and well that makes a football field extremely muddy. It was a very big mud fest. It was disgusting. Here is a little clip from the game. They didn't win but they played really well. Christopher is the one in the red shorts.




The next day was the intramural dodgeball game. It is hilarious to me how big intramural games are down here but it makes this place a little more fun because besides the intramurals there is nothing else to do besides study. It gives the students something else to think about besides their school work. So that is good every now and then. Chris's intramural team won the whole tournament. They went undefeated. They were pretty good. His team is in the picture below. They are Jered, Tommy, Chris, Jeff, and Kyle.
