FINALLY an update!

So... my internet plan is horrible.  I use a different "provider" than the rest of the staff so updating has been very difficult.  We have spent the past three days getting things organized and ready for the teams this summer.  The staff is seeing "the other side of missions" as we talked about yesterday.  We are also spending a lot of time talking about the upcoming groups and meeting with our ministry partners (and others).  James has been at the base helping us get little errands finished.  Redgi has been gone most of the time- returning the Mercedes (not a good choice after all- praise God for showing us that), picking up the Jeep (yes, we bought a Jeep Liberty- maybe just for the summer, maybe forever- time will tell) and doing all the necessary paperwork to take care of that, etc... We literally have not seen him except to sleep here the past two days.  We probably won't see him all day today either because...............
         THE BUS IS READY TO PICK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!    Yes!  Today Peterson will get Redgi this morning (in about an hour) and they will drive to meet Toussaint to get the bus and bring it to Redgi's house.  He has a welder there who will (we hope) be able to help him install the seats and then he will bring it here to the base later in the evening- Just in time for the team coming tomorrow!  This is such an answer to prayer and we are super excited about it.  Two weeks to the day since arriving in Haiti (off the boat) we should have it in our possession.

If you are worrying about any of us, we are fine.  Currently we are living on mangos, avacado and ramen noodles during the day but there is a nice restaurant to go to at night that has air conditioning and great/safe food.  Both staff have internet plans that they purchased for their phones so they are able to keep in touch with home.  This is important since they will be here for seven weeks each.  We are all healthy (just tired) and getting ready to see all God has prepared for each of us over the summer.  No chikungunya so far.  :)  :)

Some photos of the Jeep- 2003 Liberty (4 x 4).  It is nice and only has 36,000 miles on it!  Owned by a man in Petionville.
