update





Yesterday we had a lot going on.  It was mostly a shopping and prep day for the week.  That was pretty exciting because a lot of us got to experience the bustling city of Port-Au-Prince.  We also worshiped with the boys in the morning and even got to pick the kids up from school, which is just a short ten minute walk.  It is quite funny because actually it was just me and one Haitian guy who went so when I walked in I of course stuck out like a sore thumb haha.  There was also a medical clinic for some of the local families, which continues today. 

This morning we worshiped with the girls and walked them to school.  I love how almost everybody you pass on the street says Hello to each other.  It's so different from America.

Today, aside from the medical clinic, we are working on the garden and on painting and whatever else comes along.  The majority of the rooftop garden will be constructed downstairs as it is SUPER hot on the roof and not many of us can last for very long up there.  The Haitians don't seem to have any problem lasting up there and we have quite a few helping us today.

Andrew is feeling better today, woo hoo!  Pray that we would be careful in how long we are out in the sun and for us to be focused on supporting the ministry of the Manasseros.

Hey Guys,

We are also glad that Andrew is feeling better. Spending some time in Florida this summer, we have a little understanding of how the heat and humidity can beat you down. We continue to pray for everyone's health, protection, and some relief from the heat.

The pictures are awesome! It is great to see the smiles on the kids.

God Bless,

The Gooch Family
