Report from Chuck Guerber David and his workers came up about 2 p.m., and it started raining about 2:30. It was a sloppy mess, as you can imagine. They got the pump all set up, and we hooked up the garden hose we had. The...

Report from Chuck Guerber Yesterday, Chris and four Haitian workers came to finish up the well. When they were getting close to being finished, Pastor Do told us that his wife was making a meal for all of us. So at around...
