Working us to death
Most teams that come down to Haiti to serve are ready to work. Some more than others. When teams show up that REALLY want to work – we work them like crazy. We have so much work to do here. However, at the same time – we work ourselves to death with them, but we love every second of it. I don’t want to speak for all of the staff but I thrive on teams coming down. Seeing their enthusiasm is so refreshing every week.
This week we have had 4 different teams – 3 that are staying with us. We have built 6 roofs in 4 days and completed a lot of other work. We have been building like crazy! It has been non-stop. I love it when I am constantly on the phone ordering supplies.
So, besides the fact that I am exhausted I am having a great week. One of the teams invited me to go to the beach with them for 2 days, starting tomorrow, so it will be a relaxing break.
Tonight we set up the movie theater on the roof. We had a huge sheet stretched out and watched “Pride and Prejudice” with a lot of the team members. It was a good time.
O yeah. I have some crazy skin problem on my legs. I thought it was ant bites at first but it has multiplied to covering my left leg from the knee down… so I started getting a little concerned (as I did not want it to start taking over any more of my body). I had the visiting doc look at it and the best we could come up with was to treat it like lice, just in case it was some sort of little bugs living on me. I’m not really sure. Please pray with me that this will get resolved!!
I hope everyone has had a great week! It has been great having Nathan back. He was exhausted when he got here, which doesn’t give me a good feeling about when I get back in September :/
Anyways, have a good night.
