Prayer Partner of the Day - Patrick Lesley
Happy St Patrick's Day! We were very lucky to have Patrick praying for us today, as it was "his" day! Thank you, Patrick! We certainly felt all prayers today as we rode thru Port Au Prince twice. It is clear that elections are nearing, as the tension was high and the UN was on alert. We continue to pray that elections and the aftermath will be peaceful.
We did go to Blanket today! Pastor Evens is doing very well, and school was in session. It was big test day... All the students were taking tests in the sanctuary, and the teachers were swarming! Apparently it's the big test to promote them to the next grade.I am sad to report that I did not see Ashley, Ancy, Sam, and Leo...otherwise known as our goats! Mr. Elisme (Maxon's father) had taken the goats to his house to raise them. He said they were all doing well, and even called them by name... So I will trust him! The operators have the system working daily and have posted a sign at the street to advertise water! They've even installed several more electrical plugs and such. They're charging people to charge their cell phones. Kind of micro-business-y. There was also hot gossip in the town of Blanket, but that would be wrong of me to share on the Internet!
The ride into and out of Port Au Prince was dicey as usual. We were treated to ice cream upon our arrival back in Leogane! It was our prize for making it thru the day.Tomorrow begins work on System #4. This will be in Leogane at a school and home for those mentally handicapped. We can feel the home stretch!
Again, happy St Patrick's Day! Drink a green beer for me!
Grace & peace!
