Tropical storm Isaac provided parts of Haiti with heavy rains and wind but only light rain here at Fauche.Praying for those in areas with flooding and those who lost tin off their roofs.
Thank you very much to those who prayed for Haiti's safety from Isaac!
Living in a small home or even worse a small tent is never ideal in Haiti but under these conditions very miserable, with health considerations.
Thankful because it could have been much worse for Haiti.
Work on the agricultural book continues with now over 50 pages in book form [no illustrations added yet.]
Next month at this time we should be in a rental car driving North to Michigan from Florida. Continue to work on the US schedule and appointments. Our speaking schedule found here: Thede Visits
We will continue to update as we learn more about the various events. Hope to see many of you during this trip.
Next week Cory will travel to Southern Haiti if the roads remain passable. We will finish up our school year and start to prepare the house for our departure.
