Kánikula!

The weather here in Debrecen has changed drastically. We finally got out of the pattern of cool, rainy weather and are now experiencing kánikula, or a heat wave. The kánikula occurs when strong southerly winds drive heat from the Mediterranean into Hungary. We cannot complain, though, because everyone has been praying for the rain to stop. Almost 20 percent of Hungary has experienced flood damage and are waiting for the water levels to return to normal. Thankfully, here in Debrecen we are on high ground without a major river nearby. We are very proud of the churches who are doing their best to help the flood victims. And we thank the Lord that the rain finally stopped.
