Well our second team of the year headed home to Chicago on Sat. They were from Orchard Evangelical Free Church in Arlington Heights, Ill. wow what a great group of people. They are a large mission minded church that is involved in mission work in many countries around the world. We were so blessed that the came to spend time here at Canaan and work with us . We have been short on teachers so several of the women worked in our schools another one worked in the clinic and the men were busy building cabinets. On Friday we took a boat trip out to La Gonave the large island that we look at out in the Caribbean. It was calm going out but the waves picked up in the afternoon and we all got a good drenching on the way back to the mainland. I have a feeling I will be seeing some if not all of them coming again on another team. Thank you Gary, Paul, Ron, Tim, Beth Sue, Rae Ann, Nicole, Sue and Beth for coming and blessing us.
Team III has been here three days now, they are finishing the roof on Gladys and Henri's house and will be doing plumbing later this week. They represent five different churches from Indiana and Florida, so they didn't all know each other till they met in the Miami airport prior to the flight over here. Like most teams I'm sure they are making friendships that will last through a common bond of serving God on the mission field.
