We have heard that Yarmouth is under a deep freeze with considerable snow. We are happy to report that we aren't. Yesterday was extremely muggy and the heat took a lot of energy away from our team. Some haven't been feeling that well but we have the technology to cure the problems.
We have learned that we have some very good singers in the group and may have to consider forming our own choir when we get back.
The work at the site was really slow. We found the Haitians had slowed down to increase the amount of pay that they would get for the job, so we had to get them to pick up the pace. Hopefully today things will go quicker. We want to have all the block laid by Thursday if possible to give us two days for the roof and windows. Only time will tell.
We have had some nasty games of dominoes. Ed's walking around with his head high as he won last night.
We have to mention our cook, Marta. she is an extremely good cook and we have had a wide variety of Haitian meals. We are not sure what we are eating at times but it is always good.
Some of our team went up the Albert Switzer Hospital for a tour but as soon as they arrived on the compound they found they had a tire leaking air so they had to return immediately without seeing the facility. We are still hoping to get back to the hospital before the trip is over.
Luckner's daughter is turning 18 today and Karen has planned a big birthday party for the supper hour.
We are on our way to devotions and will report today's progress later. God bless and continue to pray for us and we will pray for you

From Aidan: Have you played any games with the kids? I just finished my Spiderman puzzle. It is raining hard and the snowman Dad made for Erin is getting skinnier. On the Weather channel it said it might thunder tonight.
