Haiti. Day 13-14.

Yesterday morning we worshipped in Les Cayes. It was nice to worship with the orphans again, although after two hours into the service, and temps outside over 90 degrees, most of the young ones were asleep on us by the end!

After the service, we met up with the awesome team from Buffalo, NY!  They are just in town for 4 days to do medical clinics with the orphans at Torbeck and children on the island of Ile La Vache. 

When we go to Torbeck, Tom and I ventured out to our rock-moving area. Below is a current picture of the area that we moved the rocks to:

There is always something for which to be thankful. I am thankful that I only had to move those rocks and not dig that trench!
Here is where faith is put into action! The medical team needed more supplies...the girls went with Israelson and Warens to get them in the most expeditious manner. I warned the boys and prayed the whole time...they were fine!
This is a photo of the childrens' daycamp that has been going on at the school in Les Cayes since last week.
Today it didn't work out to go to Torbeck to work...long story...but instead in the afternoon we went to the waterfall. An hour+ drive into the mountains, and if you look carefully at this photo, the last third of it was on a one lane, deeply rutted road. For much of this part, we didn't go more than 3 mph. 
But, after the rest of the harrowing drive, and a bit of a walk, this was the view! Worth it!
Yep. Definitely worth it!
This is the view down stream. Tom was here last week, and he said that all of the rocks were "walkable" then. So much rain!
And, on our way back on that one lane road, this is what we encountered....uh oh! We were able to back up some and he was able to get around us eventually....

I have more photos to share, but will do that another time as they are taking awhile to upload tonight, and I'm going to spend the rest of my evening saying, (not goodbye) but, "See you soon!" to Adrianne and Julie! They will be leaving at 3 am to begin their journey home.

Have a blessed evening...
