Today was supposed to be our first
work day at the boys' home. We were really looking forward to painting the
interior and maybe playing a little soccer with the boys after school.
Unfortunately, we had to stay in the safety of the compound today because there
were riots nearby and some streets/neighborhoods were literally shut down.
Although we did not witness any of it, the situation must have been quite
serious because the U.N. helicopter flew around a few times today.
We stayed
at the hospital and did work here instead. We built a frame to install a
kitchen sink that has been in storage for years. We installed flood lights on 2
opposite corners of the hospital building. While looking through the hospital
for supplies, Rob found a new church jacket.
All the men worked very hard in the
scorching heat today, and we got a lot done. Just before dinner we went in the
tent village to play ball with the kids, and we all had a blast. Although we were
overwhelmed by the amount of kids that wanted our attention, it was pale in
comparison to the joy and satisfaction we received when we did give them the
attention they so desperately long for.
Please
continue to lift us up in your prayers. Although we have a task list that we would
love to accomplish, I want us to be mindful of God's appointed
opportunities.
THE HAITI TEAM
