A full day in the Sun...

Yesterday we spent the secondhalf of the day back at the potential site of the children's home. We met a local couple that works with children in a area close to the place that our children's home is in. They are a young couple unable to have children. The man is a finish carpenter and pastor. The wife has a deep love for children and holds a weekly gathering for children in the area. Do you know what I did? I brought them to the home and asked them to look around. I also found out that we are paying less for this house and land than it cost to rent a small house on a lot a few miles away. We are getting a really good deal.





He asked if he could help us work on the house. Of course I told him... yes it was a distinct posibility... with my hands, facial expressions and broken spanish. The girls were laughing at me.

This place was hot today...







Life in this place does not wait whan it is too hot to go outside... which is what we did. The day was spent in a couple of churches and Pizza Hut. The first church was a Dominican Church down town that was progressive and updated with sound and video. Then Pizza Hut at the resort area near teh beach and then to a very very small rural and run down Haitian village. It was an optional day but all parties took the option instead of sitting at the beach near our guest house.





We walked with a group of Haitians and watched as a man was baptized. We all carried children about a mile in the heat to a small stream. Everyone loved the children and the village but we are sunburned and sore.





Tomorrow we go to Santiago to a place called Santa Lucia.





My time is running out so I had better go for now...
