Feb. 1st Team report

Today was a good day. Yesterday the church was packed out-Cory had to walk back up to the house to bring down our plastic chairs. The sermon was about how we are all human and have red blood. As Christians we need to suffer with the suffering therefore lightening their load. And we shouldn't just be telling people that we're praying for them but we also need to be donating money, food, and supplies to our brothers and sisters in need.

Today the kids and I did the first day of our new school year. They had most of last week off having completed the last school year on Monday-right before the grandparents came on Tuesday. So after a few days of computer games it was time to start up again.

Gerda is keeping us full of yummy food. Mom painted. The guys did carpentry. I also tried to thin out my In-box. Still with close to 500 to go so if you haven't heard from me. Sorry.

Chris and Kathleen are learning the ropes of running a guest house in Port-au-Prince, post-earthquake style. Sleeping under nets under the stars. Please pray that this will be a growing experience for them. We know that they will be a blessing to those they come in contact with. And we're glad that they were able to connect with Chris's dad at the airport even for a few minutes.

Please pray as well as we start to look at how to get our Northern team to TiGoave around the 20th of Feb. as well as 4 guys coming from Michigan. Travel plans are always challenging in Haiti, even under normal conditions.
