La tormenta: Dos

This past week we had another strong storm come through similar to the one several weeks ago.  The last time we were in Asuncion, but this time we were here at home.  It came through about 10:30PM and it was quite loud.  There was hail coming down with the rain and we discovered that with our metal roof it was almost impossible to talk to each other.  Holly and I ran outside to try to cover our washing machine with a tarp.  The washing machine is kept outside on the back patio because there is no place for it in the house.  We were began to get worried that the hail was going to break out the window in our car, but God protected it from any damage.  We weathered the storm with nothing more than water coming in around all of our windows and around the edges of several rooms.  Several people in town lost their entire roofs.  There were also  lot of trees down from the wind.  I spent the last couple of days helping to fix the roof at the church.  A large portion of the roof was blown off.  Unfortunately the pain in my shoulder kept me from doing some of the work.  Because of the expense, we were trying to re-use as much of the damaged metal from the roof as possible.  I spent a large chunk of my time using tin snips to cut out the completely unusable parts.
