Many Projects

I spent the day on our land yesterday. I rounded the kids up and taught them English songs. Then I gave them marbles and a soccer ball. We all just played under the tall mango trees all afternoon. Its always the little moments that I love the most.
The men around our property are working very hard to get a road built onto our land. A friend of mine, Robert Nickell, is staying with me to supervise the project. Thank goodness he's here because I have no idea how to build anything like that. As soon as the road is built we will begin drilling the well. Everyone in the village is watching and anticipating the day when they will have clean fresh water close to home. I'm excited too. Once the water is more accessible I expect my kids to be able to take baths more regularly. Its hard for them to stay clean now because they have to focus on conserving what little water they have. Many of them have rashes from being dirty so much, but God plans to change all that!
Today I'm going to the Market to buy peanuts. A lady on our land is going to teach me how to make peanut butter. After we finish I'm going to split the jars with her. She can take half of what we've made to the market to sell. I'm going to take half of what we've made to the prison to feed the inmates.
The future in Haiti is exciting. I can't wait to see all that God has in store for our little village!!!
