Haiti Journal Day #3 - January 19




Prayer Partners of the Day - Marcia Manz and Pierre Boumtje

What a day!

So many emotions encapsuled today.  This morning, something just didn't feel right, and thankfully just as quickly as the yucky mess came, the yucky mess left and allowed for a fantastic day. The education classes  were in full swing, and some 180 4-12 year olds were taught about good hygiene and using clean water. Sheri & Carrie did a phenomenal job of herding the cats and loving on the kids. Speaking of great work, the technical wizards have successfully installed the system, punched holes in walls for drainage, plumbed water tanks, and are ready to shock the system tomorrow first thing. Every team member has their place and purpose, which seems to be working well.

Today, I was also able to sit down and get after my first lesson in my Hebrew class. After finding the missing piece of paper, which contained the transliteration key, the work was much easier! This may be a fun class after all!

Reports continue to come in from other parts of the country where surveys for potential systems are being conducted. What an amazing year 2012 will be in Haiti for Living Waters For The World and Solar Under The Sun, as this is the third water system this year thus far, with two going in next week, and slew of others lined up before summer. With an unprecedented number of volunteers and teams, God is blessing the work and the people. I am so thankful to simply be a member of God's team and a part of His Word!

Thank you to all of those holding us in prayer, especially our prayer partners today, Marcia & Pierre. Many of my family members are away from home this week ... And I will ask you hold them in prayer, too.

Peace be with you tonight, from a rainy, cool hillside in Mirebalais, Haiti.
