Life in Haiti

This week has been busy. We started with a Joyful Easter. We went to PAP to the English speaking church. Christ is Risen Indeed was the theme. It was packed. Then home for Easter dinner with Chris and Sheryl and Josh Brumley. We even had Ham. Thanks to our friends Kevin and Susan. The evening was finished after our naps with a worship service with Samaritians Purse, (SP) Great day.
Monday began at 0600 with laborers arriving for a cement pour on the new addition to the clinic roof. It took about 15 as they formed a bucket brigade to pass buckets of cement that they had mixed on the ground. They worked until finished. So Chris has had to spray it with water each day to keep it so that it hardens with out cracking. Different than in the states, We had clinic on Monday which was very busy. Then Tuesday is lighter usually. We had at least 5 new burns and serveral other patients. Glen went out to fix 2 wells that had broken. One well had gravel in it as the kids like to push little rocks down the only small hole on the pump and it wears a hole in the well and it quits,
Then the other things that have broken this week. Chris car is in PAP waiting to find parts as the transmission went down. We have taken our car in 3 times to see if they can fix the intermittant air conditioning. Chris and Sheryls airconditioner went down and the freezer on their refrig quit. Our freezer started beeping last night. The ice machine quit this week. Please pray for these things as they are all things that we need to work.
Today we go to PAP to work at AGAPE which is where they fly our mail in.
Pray for safe travel as it is always a pray situation when you travel in this country.
I am taking Creole classes. Please pray that I will retain what I learn.
I need to go we just had a new burn come in . Love Glen and Linda
