Ready to Work

Maybe there is Internet after all! Shortly after we arrived at the Petit Goave Campground this afternoon, the mission station manager volunteered that Internet could be made available. So I'm composing this post.

We left Port-au-Prince about 10:15 headed to Petit Goave with a stop at Place L'or to "tour" the work site. About noon we arrived at the Place L'or church. Jeff Galloway, a volunteer from Easly, SC, is working with this as project manager; he explained the planned work. Meanwhile, one of our team members went to visit his mother, whom he hadn't seen in over 3 years.

About 1:45 we arrived at the Petit Goave campground, our home for the rest of the week. We spent most of the afternoon getting settled in. As we're waiting for dinner and I'm composing this post, we're listening to the evening worship service of the Petit Goave congregation. The church building is a few blocks away, but has been severely damaged by the earthquake. So they are meeting here.

Well, the time for team building and sight seeing has come to an end. Tomorrow we get serious about doing what we came for. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you about it.
