Sickness abounding!

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday was "one of those" days... there is a bad cold making its rounds at this mission here (and actually, in the Aleg valley as a whole) that has several of us down :( The unfortunate thing is that work must go on! So that's leaving several of us pretty worn down and tattered feeling! Prayers would be appreciated for those things...

There was a good church service in church on Sunday- Pastor Levy preached about the Judgement Seat of God and how Jesus is the only way to have salvation at that time. We're praying that it was a well received message by the congregation. We all need to hear those kind of messages from time to time!

Grandpa got back from his long weekend in Port au Prince yesterday, too. It's nice to have him back in the mountains! He came down and joined us for supper last night- a wonderful meal of chicken soup, garlic bread and snack bars. Since so many of us have this nasty cold, the soup was a welcome relief for our sore throats :)

Today we're continuing on with everyday life! The clinic opened at it's normal 9am time, the garden workers were here earlier and are working around the compound, others of us are doing office work, painting, cleaning and preparing for our next house parents to arrive.

We also had a nice rain the other night- we've needed some here, since one of our cisterns is now dry. Thankfully we have the smaller backup one for such needs :)

Have a blessed day everyone! Thanks for checking back in here at the Haiti Life blog!
