MONTERO/CLEAN WATER

God is amazing!  First of all, we HAVE the Montero in Haiti!  Took a lot of prayer from many of you and we literally got it, drove it to the airport and the team was walking into the parking area to load up- couldn't have been any closer!  This team is the one coming from Pittsburgh, PA to install a clean water system in Chaveneau as well as another town near Les Cayes (where we are staying).  We spent our first night in Carrefour and headed out to Les Cayes area at about 6 am Wed.  On the way we had to drive THROUGH Mirogoane Lake and water leaked into the doors of the Montero (it was about 6" up the doors- exhaust making "blub blub" sounds out the back) and yet that beautiful SUV made it up ALL the hills/mountains like a champ.  Not one problem and only about 1/2 tank of gas (which is good considering it took us about $100 US to fill it!)  We arrived in Chaveneau at about 2 pm. and worked until about 5.  They were soooo excited.  So many people from the community showed up to help and/or watch.  They were asking if they would have clean water to drink that day.  They are so excited to have this available.  GOD IS GOOD!  Here are some photos from the first day and such.  Will do my best to keep you updated.  :)  :)  Thanks for your continued prayers.

Everyone wanted to see what the team was doing inside the building... no room to stand/move!
Our papers and license for the Montero!  :)  :)  :)
Flat tire on the Kia on the way into Chaveneau- one of TWO that day!  Argh... such wasted time....
While waiting for the Kia to bring the rest of the items needed for install the team had the kids put the Living Waters for the World stickers on the bottles!  Brilliant!
Another shot of the community and the water building!
Inside the building- hooking together all the batteries-  :)
Chris was showing the children a video of his dog licking a lollipop- they thought that was SOOO FUNNY
