The day didn’t start out as planned. Our first challenge was the voodoo party last night that involved loud drums all night long! This morning the electricity failed during preparations for breakfast. This made it difficult to brew coffee, which for some was a quite a catastrophe! Mark was right on it diagnosing the problem while the construction crew prepared their equipment for the work on the school. Jeremy, Jon, and Steve started their roofing projecting for the Mission Possible school. In the process, they made some new Haitian friends that wanted to help. Greg and Kathy worked on cabinets for the vocational school. They have a great space to begin working. In the schools, Natalie, Pam, Amanda, and Nancy talked about personal hygiene with the young ladies. Unexpectedly, the young boys were also at the school. So Pam took them aside and had a talk with them about respect which was great. Back at the Mission Possible center, there were several projects going on as well. The paint crew which included Russell, Heather, Abby, Amanda, Natalie and Katie worked hard on the first floor of the Bible school. They had a very productive day painting nearly the entire first floor. Ron and Darren worked on repairing a leaky metal roof on Rachel’s Inn. Hopefully the caulk will stick to the roof as well as it did to their skin and clothes. Liane and Joyce had an interesting day in the kitchen. Cooking without power can be challenging. What was meant to be a beef/corn casserole became a beef/corn hash cooked over and open flame. It was still great! Awesome day and we cannot wait to keep serving! Keep us in your prayers!
