Today was a cloudy and rainy day. TOMAS has moved closer to our area but has been down graded from a hurricane to just a tropical storm. Still forcast to get 10-15 inches of rain.
It is down pouring now! Makes a real mess of a country that still have not recovered from the Earthquake. They closed all schools today and tomrrow; parallel to our snow days in Canada.
School went smoothly today. We had no power, most Haitian live by natural light, which does not work when you live a concrete house with only 2 openings for windows. The city does provide power to those who can pay, but its sporadic. The generator here is a huge blessing to all of us at the property.
Anica and Noah stayed at the Honorat house with Carmita (young Haitian girl that helps with the Lisas kids) for the afternoon ....at 5pm I sent Charles to go and get them. They still had no power and it was really dark!
Charles and I did odd jobs to help the medical teams first day with clinic. They are really organized and run a smooth operation. Dr. Bob had been here many times and he has an amazing team!
I actually had time today to read a book; " A Tale of Three Kings; A Study in Brokeness" by Gene Edwards. A must read to all my "book wormy friends". I wanted to share a passage that really spoke to me
"There is a vast diffence between the outward clothing of the Holy Spirit's power and the inward feeling of the Spirits life. In the first, despite the power, the mans heart may remain unchanged. In the latter, that monster is dealt with".
We are finishing up our eveing with some fellowship and ANOTHER pepsi! Carlyle a wonderful host offered to drive out to town in the rain and find some pepsi. I think I am becoming a popaholic! Never liked the stuff back home.
Everyone has gone too bed, so we are going to make popcorn. MMM!
