As we drove, we got spattered with rain, but great puddles, rushing streams, and muddy water gushing down drainage areas showed us heavy rains had been there before us. The last 3 km to her house are on clay roads. We took a new way that was more direct. Most of it was better than the usual road. Then we needed to wind down to cross a bridge over a stream and climb back up the other side of the ravine. We slithered down the crested road-- one car wide-- with gullies on either side, then steep walls. Tom did a masterful job of driving and we were in 4 wheel granny gear, but I am certain there were angels involved as well. We slid down to the bottom, but then, we had good traction going up the other side. Thank the Lord.
After visiting and drinking juice, she gave us some of her "home grown" honey. When we took our leave to travel back home, I was concerned about the drive in and out of the ravine again. This time, going down, we slid on the slick mud that hadn't been a problem before. But on the other side-- where it had been slippery-- we were able to drive out with no problem! Truly the Lord blessed us!.
