Hot Hot Hot!!!

The blog won't post in the evening so I will try sending them in the morning.  Tuesday, March 16th: It is very very very hot here. It will be good when our bodies start to adjust. Our day today has been a full day. We awoke to roosters crowing and a donkey hollering. We were able to start on the wall today. Cement, shovels, rocks, sand, and rebar. Lots of rebar. There are a few sunburns (not too bad) and two people not feeling to well, but you need not worry, everyone is fine. We were able to be an encouragement to the Haitians we worked with and they were a definite encouragement to us. A lot of hard work today - the wall was going up at a good pace. I think I'll be a little sore tomorrow from shovelling gravel. We had the opportunity to play with some children this morning, which brought back a bit of the Creole from my last trip. I know so little Creole so it has been a joy for all of us to have Jean with us to help translate. Supper was wonderful. Fried Chicken. Vernon says he's bringing the cook back with him, it was that good. We went to the church service which was lively and a great time of worship. Jean made us all go to the front to sing a song in Creole. Many have vowed pay back.

  1. Hmmm, maybe with comments from Vernon about bring the cook back home, I won't be cooking at all :)

  4. Glad that someone has to also go to the front and sing creole. Glad you are having a great time. Jean is probably loving the Haitian food.
