I did hear that the trip started by a drive via the river bed as our road once again became blocked because of political protests. This time the ditch across prevented even motorcycle travel. I hear that the law stepped in and some maybe under arrest. More details to follow I'm sure but I encouraged John Pierre to run home as the rain began.
In 4 weeks time we will be heading to the airport to pick up my brother's family and team. Next week we host for 1 night a group from the central plateau coming this way for a graduation at the Christian University of Northern Haiti. One week later we pick up Chris and Kathleen for a 1 month long visit. The following week we may have a short visit by a team from the University. And then Todd's team!! Lots to do before these visitors as we return to the USA 2 days after Todd leaves and 1 day after Chris and Kath.
Thankful to hear from a couple locations in Haiti yesterday that their rainy season appears to have started. While the gardens and dust benefit from the rain it is likely to spike the number of Cholera cases..so please remember to pray.
Clinic numbers remain low. Pastor Rigo does not know at this time why but hopes it indicates good health in our area. I did hear yesterday that a man, found helping himself to a garden not belonging to him received severe machete wounds but remained alive by the grace of God. Sadly this is the second attack for him, for the same reason.
The compound's banana plants continue to ripen unfortunately last week while John Pierre left for volley ball tournaments 2 nice bunches walked away. Cory discovered the robbery when he went with the camera to get pictures of the nice banana bunches.
[First picture is our pastor's youngest daughter. Second is some of the Kid's club kids picking up trash around campus. Visitors coming so we want to look good.]
