Hi Tina,

It would be interesting to see how moisture tolerant the M-8 is. 
Electronics are usually much less tolerant of moisture. It is the  
reason that many electronic gadgets fail.

Well, I'm certainly testing it out!  Today we had an even stronger deluge
and by the time we came off the mountain, the stream that we had to cross was
40 feet wide and waist deep.  The current was so strong that even with three
guys holding on to me, I went underwater along with my M8's.  They were
submerged for several minutes until I could get my footing.  One team did not
make it off the mountain and is spending the night in the village because a
bridge was washed away.  If I had had a choice, I would have stayed, too,
instead of walking out through knee-deep mud as lightning crashed all around
us.  

My M8's seem to be fine.  I'm not sure about me, though!!

Tina

PS  Anybody want to sign up for one of my mission trips to Central American?
