Car mishap

 The car in this picture is the one that we drive.  This is the spot where we always park when we are at the mission office.  The white wall is the boundary of the mission property.  The gray cement wall behind it is from a broken down home structure on the adjacent property.  One evening we rode with another of the senior couples as we all went out to dinner.  A thunderstorm arose while we were gone, complete with driving rain and lots of wind.  When we returned to the office after dinner to get into our car to drive home, we found that the wind had blown the second floor wall that was remaining on the home structure over the mission office wall with part of it falling onto our car.  This picture was taken the next morning after all the debris had been cleaned up.

This is what our poor vehicle looks like now.  We cannot open that door any longer.  We're still waiting word about repair.  The lucky thing about it is that the office night guard usually sits in that spot where our car is when we are not there at night.  Perhaps he was saved from serious injury.
