Nov. 19 Roof leaking.

Yesterday was another good working day.

The ceiling was completely up except for the small hallway and bathroom. The bars on the windows were painted. The kids and I and Grandma Thede worked on cleaning and scraping the small bathroom. Small touch up painting was also done.














Other locations curtains were sewn, one side of the clinic sign painted [except for the parts waiting for green paint], newsletters printed and labels, and 424 envelopes addressed, stamped, stuffed, and sealed. Cory kept two printers and computers busy all day yesterday wit the newsletters.
The newsletters generally take our family a full week to complete.Thanks to the team for volunteering to help and bring the letters to the States to be mailed.
Eli planted around 850 Moringa trees with Grandma Thede's help.









Following lunch Pastor Rigaud stopped in for a short visit sharing his dreams for the work with the young people and the clinic. The team were able to ask questions. They prayed with him which I know he greatly appreciated.



Every one slept well-as it was cooler, 76 degrees when we got up at 6 am. Between 3-4 am it had started to rain. It rains hard in the tropics and after breakfast Eli checked the rain gauge and reported that we had 6 inches. Entering the 'guest' house for work we found two locations that the roof had leaked. So the new ceiling tiles were taken down to dry and someone will be looking for the leaks today.
