Flooding!!!
A few of you already know that we encountered flooding on our land. It was very unexpected as we are about 300 meters away from a river, that normally has only about 1 meter of water. During the rainy season in the mountains the amount of water was too much for that river bed to hold in. The depth of the river came to about 6 meters. We were aware of the danger a river would bring, so we had raised the land 1 meter and an extra half a meter for the house before, nevertheless none of this was enough and we still had about 70cm in the house. It was a surprise not only to us, but to all around, as such flooding has not been there before.
But we are glad that it happened at this time, when we can still fill the land more. We can still prepare before our main construction begins. It did slow our move a lot. But again we were thankful that we weren't living there yet at the time of flooding. PTL.
So pls. keep us in your prayers as it is a big fight and a big project to finish.
