Weekend

Things just keep on trucking along. On Saturday morning the team went to the property and worked for half the day, unfortunately I have no pictures of that but rest assured I am confident that they worked hard. In the afternoon we then went up the mountain to Fort Jacques to enjoy some spectacular views, some good food, some souvenir shopping as well as visit the historic Fort Jacques. This was my first time being to Fort Jacques since the earthquake... there has been a lot of damage and it's sad to see a piece of their history in ruins. The gatekeeper at the fort assured me that they are going to restore it so we shall wait and see.

While up the mountain Maia got to visit the little zoo that they have up there. She loves seeing the bunnies, the monkey and the ducks and is constantly busy dancing and yelling at them from the fence.

On Sunday morning we enjoyed a beautiful time of worship at 1ere L'Eglise Presbyterian de Port au Prince. After church the team headed downtown to see the palace and once they returned it was game time. The Haitian guys living at our house challenged the team to a Haiti vs Canada basketball game. Haiti won fair and square two games to one, but it was a good effort put forth by Canada :)
Heading to "the" gameThe cheerleaders

Wow! Look at that white guy jump! We have a few specific things that we ask that you to pray for:

1. A backhoe... we really need to put the septic in so that we can get school up and running. The backhoe was supposed to come on Friday but it broke down, until this backhoe comes we can't put the septic in and we can't level the land, please pray!

2. That our vehicles may work! We are always having vehicle problems... right now our truck is causing us some grief (I know Pete you don't think it's a truck but it's all we've got!) We need it right now to transport materials as well as pick up some things that we have salvaged from the old Adoration and bring it to the new Adoration.

Thanks for keeping those two specifics for us in prayer
