Gold and Gray

One of my favorite times of day in Sudan is the evening time when the sun is low in the sky but still bright, and everything the sun touches glows warm golden tones.


The night before the dedication of the Bishop's house and our houses, we had some strange weather. First, there was a bright rainbow that came out behind our house after a hard rain. Second, the sun came out casting golden light on our house while the sky was still dark gray on the opposite horizon line. Third, the wind picked up and we had some crazy clouds moving quickly across the sky. One cloud in particular was very low and looked like a wave rolling on itself or a small water fall in a steam.


The pictures don't quite capture what we all saw that evening. It was strange and beautiful. Our whole team was outside watching the sky change minute by minute.
