Friday update

Yesterday (Friday) we got my friend made an amazing breakfast of egg sandwiches with cheese.  After we feasted we went to meet the well driller in PAP.  It was a good meeting but unfortunately he told us that he would not suggest putting a well that far up the mountain. He has been all over that area and there is rarely water (it runs in underground streams and the chances of finding a stream  are rare.  He said he would still have to charge us for at least the drilling (not the pipe and stuff if he didn't hit water) but that would just waste the money we have.  So.... back to square one!  He suggested petitioning the water company (public) that runs the line down the mountain to see if we can tap into that but that will be COSTLY and would require monthly fees forever.  We also talked to Pastor about the feasibility of upgrading the collection system he currently has for catching water from the roof.  Argh... lots to pray about here.

We then went to register Redgi for college which turned into about a 5 hour process!  Interviews, walking from one building to the next, meetings, more interviews, paying application fees and then picking classes once he was ACCEPTED!  woo hoo!  He will be taking four classes (12 credits) and will start Feb. 4th providing we get to the bank and pay the fee (yes, you pay at the bank for your classes, get a receipt and then take that back to the college to prove you paid).  Then he gets his student ID and can begin the first week of classes. 

We also met with Pastor about future plans for the school/orphanage and that was a very very productive meeting.  Today we still need to do interviews on all the orphans and take photos. 

We left the house at 9 am yesterday and got home again at about 8:30 pm.  Overall it was a good day, just lots of "down time" we didn't plan on.  So.... now today we will pick up the excess and move forward.  It's Haiti!!!  :)  :)  We are blessed God is doing so much in the ministry and we are part of all that.  These are good "problems" to have. 

Thanks for the prayers.  Today will be a LONG day again. Keep them coming!  God bless
