Well it's Friday night and my first team leaves tomorrow morning and the next one arrives at 4:00pm tomorrow. Things have gone much better since all the problems we had last week concluding with the transport truck breaking down after picking up the team.
Sister Gladys and Pastor Henri were married in the Canaan Chapel last Saturday. Sunday after church we spent the afternoon at the beach. Monday through Thursday the team worked on projects,. These included several people doing plumbing and electrical in the new small boys dorm. Others worked down at the clinic doing an assortment of jobs like cleaning and painting shelves, walls, filing cabinets, cutting and grinding off rebar, nailing down loose roofing and other odd jobs to make the present clinic look nice till we move to the new one.
One man worked on vehicles and generators all week. He changed oil and filters, made mechanical repairs, worked on electical problems, serviced two Briggs & Stratton engines, diagnosed problems on several vehicles so we can order parts and much, much more. One lady taught second grade all week and worked with the chidren on school problems.
Today was a day to travel sight see and take one last swim in the sunny Caribbean before heading home to the cold and snow of Northern Indiana and Wisconsin. It's always sad to see the teams leave but from past experience I know we will be seeing many of them coming again next year. In God's love , steve
