Travel for the day unfolded largely as planned. Flights were on time; all bags arrived with us; our porter and taxi driver were waiting for us. We arrived at the Ortlip Ministry Center in Croix Luly about 2 in the afternoon. Joy and Ser Lousani had lunch waiting for us.
The one project on the list for Croix Luly was the installation of a water pump for the washing machine. On a previous trip we hooked up a washing machine, but the water supply was via faucet and hose; it required manual attention to fill the machine for both wash and rinse. A couple guys on that trip thought a pressure controlled pump could be connected to provide unattended operation. A pump was obtained; a mounting fixture was fabricated; and fittings were assembled. The pump was brought with us, and this afternoon we completed the installation. An initial run this evening was as expected. Perhaps Joy will test it thoroughly tomorrow.
Some of the team cooled off in the water. Some just rested. After dinner we visited with Dan and Joy and learned more about their ministry here.
Tomorrow about noon we're scheduled to head to La Gonave for the rest of our time here. It will be very exciting to see first hand all the progress on the new guest house and the new hospital.
