Work and Walking

This morning, it was work, work, work.  The Skid Steer was saved...well it is working temporarily; houses were being worked on; excavation continues; hygiene bags were packed; water filter getting fixed and numerous others.  I had some time to go through my work emails as well. 

This afternoon we walked through the community praying for people, sharing the gospel, and giving them hygiene bags.  Several people accepted Christ and others were healed.  We were able to bless the laborers as well (those working on the 3 houses and excavating for the tech school).  I seen some of the same kids on the walk that we seen last year. 

Today was payday and one of the guys that came in asked David if he was here after the earthquake.  He said he remembered his face because he was one of the workers who worked on the wall.

Last night we were shown a cool site that shows how much internet speed you have from where you are to another location that you pick.  speedtest.net.  Our speed at the time was about 1.3MB.

Tomorrow is market day, some will work in the morning and then we will head to the beach in the afternoon.  The sweet, sweet beach.  I just want to say to all you who are surrounded by snow, it is wonderfully warm here.  Wouldn't you like to join us?

  1. Oh, that going to the beach sounds sooo good. Not so nice here in Saskatoon! Don't know if you remember Beth, but I met you last year when Cornerstone was in Haiti. The Lord willing, we will be back there in February. It will be good to see you again. Enjoy following your blog.

    God Bless you & David.

  5. Hi Beth and David,

    It sounds like all has started well for you, with the exception of the skid steer - whatever that is (hope it gets resolved soon)! Miss you lots. Take care as you continue your work.

    Love, Kathy F
