Black Mamba

We've all been enjoying the incredible sunsets recently.... they don't capture so well the night's I've actually had my camera out with me, but here's one from the other afternoon. The first clouds we've seen!! No rain yet:) The other morning, four girls and myself headed out the door about 615 in the morning for a walk before breakfast. The last person out the door slid on the rug and we realized that a "small" snake was curled up below the front stoop. God's angels protected us as we'd all stepped right over it!!! Beth, who lives here on the compound (pictured below) came over and eventually (after some hissing and striking at a distance) killed the snake with a really big rock. The photo is of her holding the dead snake up after we got back from our walk. After photo's she took it to one of the guards and he told her it was a black mamba - a very poisonous snake. It was a big reminder to all of us that God is in control and is faithfully protecting us! Thank you for your prayers!!

When he was all curled up, from above he totally looked black, but the underbelly is more grey/green :).
