August in Haiti Means Hot Weather

    We made another exciting trip to Haiti.  Our first adventure was to paint a large room for a women who runs a school in Port Au Prince.  You don't need electric to paint a room and that was a good thing. There was no public electricity in her house until almost 2:30 AM so when we went to bed it was 96 degrees in our room!  Yikes...............After 3 days of blood, sweat and tears, we moved on to our next project.  We traveled to Carries, Haiti.  We sponsored the elementary school there for the last school year.
    After a clinic in April, I thought the women of the area needed a Bible and Health Conference.  We had a great time.  We stayed in an old but beautiful house on the beach.  The views and sunsets were spectacular.  The first night we did have a ceiling fan.  The mosquito netting made me clostrophobic, but, it is better than being eaten in the night by those huge, flying dive bombers. The next night we started with the fan but early into the darkness - no electric.  We worked in the church with the women and they were attentive and appreciative.  It was electric to be able to encourage and answer questions for these ladies who have almost nothing.  They stood and sang to us as we finished the conference.  They said, "We have nothing to give you so we want to sing you a song."  WOW!  That was a 'gift'.  We always come back to the states BLESSED....
    Our last 3 days were used to visit a new place for us.  We traveled beyond Grand Goave to visit a project that we had been following.  God's plans are unknown to man, but if we wait, He has great things in store for us.  Again, another blessing during that trip.  I truly know that I will not melt.  Perspiration poured from my body and still I did not disappear.  We'll be going back to Haiti.  We want to do our little part in helping there.  Our work is only a drop in the bucket for God, but if we all keep adding those drops, one day the bucket will be full!
