Still in Haiti

Only one more week to go.  Even though Anica is counting the days she is having fun helping out with the medical team and also helping the carpenter to odd jobs around the compound.  Today she was a plumbing apprentice. 

Noah and I witnessed the gravel truck getting stuck while trying to dump his load of gravel.  The truck is probably early 1950`s MACK.  It is pieced together as best possible with only one seat for the driver, but three of them in the cab.  The reason the truck was stuck was because he stalled it.  The only way to restart the truck is to push start it.  So the bobcat was pushing form behind with six Haitians also pushing, it only moved 5 feet and he got it started.  An amazing feat.   To get the hydraulics to work they pulled a large pipe out of the cab and started whacking at something under the truck.  It worked!

The rest of the day we took inventory of what they have in the shed and the sea can, so they will know what they have.

This evening I spoke at the church service.  As I mentioned yesterday I spoke on Romans 12.  I highly recommend if you have to speak in front of a group, do it infornt of people you don`t know, and have an interpreter.  With the interpreter you only have to say 4-5 words at a time, then you have time to think about your next 4-5 words.    Those that attended said it was a good message so I will take it at that.   The key verse that I focused on was Romans 12:2. 
``Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of you mind, then you will be able to test and approve what God`s will is, his good, acceptable and perfect will.``

The rest of the night we sat around the table a visited.  I made popcorn for everyone and we all enjoyed it. 

Bye for now!!
