Day Two

Hey everyone,

Well, day two has come and gone. All three of us slept much better last night and felt more energized today. This morning we had a chance to go and see some of the village and Marc and Lisa's house. It was good to get outside the compound walls and see what surrounds us. It is so strange to see how some homes seem to survived the earthquake with little or no damage while others have been reduced to rubble.

This afternoon Chad got to work helping out with the construction of the primary school that is being built. The hope is to have it up and running by this September for grades 1 through 4. I took some pictures of Chad hard at work and will post them in the next day or two. I spent some time this afternoon working on some admin. tasks. Dublin spent the afternoon looking cute and hanging out with his new friend Carmita. She is helping watch Dublin while we are down here so that I can help out with some different things that need to get done.

Tonight we had the opportunity to attend our first Haitian wedding. We were told it would start somewhere between 2:00 and 4:30 pm. I'm not actually sure when it did finally start, but it was fun to be there. It was certainly different than our typically quiet North American wedding ceremonies. It was...lively - lot's of cheering and celebrating...I guess you could call it an "audience participation wedding." It was a great experience.

So, that's day two. We're off to bed in the next few minutes. Tomorrow's church.

Please be praying that we'll all stay healthy. We've all been doing well so far. We especially want little Dublin to be well while we're here. He's already adjusting quite well to the heat and has been drinking a lot of fluids, and eating regularly which is really great. We hope that this will continue.

Anyhow, thanks to you all once again for your prayers and support.

Chad, Kelly & Dublin.
