Cap Haitian Trip.

Another week and only 18 days remaining in 2011.

Today Cory will head to Cap Haitian to shop and pick up cargo from the MFI flight. Hope he can find our traditional stocking stuffers. When we can find them each of us get their very own large can of ....Pringles chips. Although generally we only open one at a time and share as a family. This started back when I lived on LaGonave as a child..normal chips do not travel well.

Anna with imported breadfruit and a small off shoot.

School continues as normal. Cory did some office work yesterday. Clinic numbers were to low for 3 doctors, so I headed back to home. I continue to put together an information packet for visiting medical personal to LaGonave. Met. Rous, the hospital administrator, sent me some papers that were made for visiting medical personal back in 2002-and translated into French and Spanish. It surprised me to see that I wrote it! Carol's folks translated it into Spanish and I don't know who put it into French. Will need a bit of updating but helpful reminders of items I might not of included in the updated one.

The walk to church Sunday and clinic Monday shows areas of erosion as we received over 4.24 inches this weekend and 2.25 inches on Thursday. A bit squishy in some areas but sunshine for the moment peaking out around big fluffy white clouds. While we've dropped to 70 degrees this month we've not yet seen the 60's.

Ready for a day in Cap Haitian.

Cory loaded up banana plants, bamboo and a few breadfruit trees, a couple Acai palm trees, and 5 star fruit trees to share with the Blue Hill's church on the way to Cap Haitian to shop and get cargo. The most important item on his shopping list is batteries for the clinic and our house [our older batteries have lost most of their capacity therefore not holding a charge well anymore].

Praise: SIL Beth feeling a bit better.
Pray: Todd has surgery on his elbow tomorrow.
