What can you accomplish during a week of work in the hot Haitian sun? A lot! The Hopps are so thankful for the team of eight that came from four different churches around the country. They left behind the snow and ice to help us build a new gate to match the wall the Haitian crew has been putting up. The men did many big and small jobs around the Mission home at Kaliko including building bookshelves, pouring a cement patio and fabricating a rack for the battery system that powers the home during the day. That was on top of building the gate from scratch, pouring the pillars and approach, and installing all the necessary hardware.
Every day was full. The wife of one of the men came along to help Heather with the cooking. She also helped make curtains and do other jobs around the house. Everyone got along well and the fellowship of the saints. They worked with several Haitian men and we even took the opportunity to visit Menorce at his home and pray for his family.
We are getting near the finish line for the wall project. The Haitian work crew is happy the wall is closed in now. For several days the goats were still getting in and eating their lunch. The put the pot on, left it to do their work and the goats would eat it right out of the pot. No more! Next week we will begin the final stage of pouring the wall cap. Thanks for continuing to pray for safety on the job and strength to complete the project.
