Starting Day 5..

The biggest changes for us at this point would be connecting more with our families by phone or messaging; reading more world news during unlimited bandwidth time before 7 a.m. and only hearing 1-2 planes fly over a day.

The guys watered our trees Saturday and Monday as we've been dry, but thankfully last night we had a short rain.

Planting will start in the village today and later in the week they plan to start planting up here.

Cory's guys will take about a week off from working for us to plant their fields.

Sunday we walked to the neighbors to pick up eggs, the vegetables they bought for us on their supply runs, and to visit a bit.

They also plan to stay to support the children's home.

Like many of you, our church service consisted of listening on-line, we chose an older sermon my brother preached.

We researched making of masks and then did some testing on what sheets we could breath through.

Wow what a difference between sheets. Our old sewing machine is not working well so I only completed one mask yesterday.

Yesterday some work around the dragon fruit pillars occurred.

A small rock wall to prevent dirt from washing away in the rain.

The path behind the house continues to take shape as the rocks and dirt are distributed to the various pillars.

Praying for the many people trying to get flights to leave the country. There are many reasons to leave folks at risk medically being a big one and food supplies. We have a few month supply and are in a very safe area with limited exposure to people.

 As of this morning 6 confirmed cases in Haiti but none reported in our area or in Port-au-Prince the capital.
