As you can tell by the photos, we worked on the bathrooms today. We now have shower curtains, shower mats, and rugs in the bathrooms. That sounds like it wouldn't take very long, but it took all morning. You don't just hang...

This morning Simon and I left Dottie's about 8:30 to go buy a few more groceries and exchange some money. For some of you who have never heard of me talking about changing money, it is just like in the Bible days of money...

Today is my birthday, Happy 59. How could that be? Fifty-nine--no way! But that is what the birth certificate says. The Lord said they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as...

After driving military trucks for about ten years and a 1992 Ford van for the last year and a half, TEM has been blessed with a NEW 2011 Ford Everest Diesel SUV. Hallelujah!!!! Hallelujah!!! and AMEN. Take a look at the...

We started off with an inspiring devotion by Karl, beginning in Kings and ending up in Romans. Talking about Elijah and how he was so bold in the Lord, and then he ended up hiding in a cave--how that can compare to our...

This morning I had to go down to a little town called Cabaret, which is about 30 minutes from Z'Orange, to pick up some cement, rebar and other materials for the Haitian bosses. This was the first time I had really gone...

I didn't get a chance to take pictures or write for the 22nd; I had to go to Port-au-Prince to pick up materials for the mission house. This took all day, naturally, and the van gave us problems all day; as we started up...

We woke up today with the sun coming up, ready to begin our day. Ralphy started it out with the devotion, and afterward we had breakfast. It was a very simple breakfast with cereal, pop tarts and some milk and, naturally,...

It was amazing that the whole team made it to Haiti today. We had people flying in from Chicago, New York, Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola, and St. Louis. It was snowing in Chicago, and for the last two days there has been fog...

Report from Brother Chuck I got home about 12:30 a.m. Friday to Fort Walton Beach, FL. The seniors at Wright Baptist Church had already begun moving things from our storage area to the activities building at church. The...

The team started stirring around 5 a.m. today, doing their last minute packing. As they were having breakfast, I took my morning walk down to get Gabriel so I could take them to the airport. My flight wasn't until 1:25...

Hallelujah!!!! The work team got all the tin put on the roof, and there was enough. We were concerned the whole time that there wasn't enough tin. We had already priced the tin to see how much it cost. This is not the first...

Today was a restful day for me and I think I needed it. I'm sure some other team members feel the same way. Just riding on these rough roads every day to work and back is hard enough, not counting the work in the heat. Karl...

This morning was a beautiful morning as I walked down to the Chapel to get Gabriel, praying and talking to the Lord all the way. I checked Gabriel's brake fluid as usual, and as usual, it was low so I added a little. Then I...

We had a wonderful Sunday. It started out with a light breakfast and then a truck ride to Z'Orange. It was nice to take the team somewhere else so they could see a little of Haiti. We arrived in Z'Orange about 10:30 and...

Karl and I took the team down to the work site this morning and we got there a little earlier today because the traffic wasn't so bad; we arrived at 8:30. We helped a little but we had to go to Eko Depot and Batimet to make...

Today was a busy day from the time we got up. We had to stop at Eko Depot on the way to the work site and give them some money for materials for Z'Orange, which took longer than I expected, which put us in the morning...

Karl and I had a long day today on the roads of Port-au-Prince. We first took the team to the work site, and then we had to go to the hardware/lumber company to find out why all our material had not been delivered. It was...

Today was the first day with the team, so everything was trial and error. I walked down to the chapel where we keep Gabriel and drove it back to Dottie's to pick up the team. Karl took part of the team and I took the other...

Today was a day of rest—sorry, no pictures. Everybody went to a little church down the street, but I stayed behind to spend a little alone time with the Lord. I knew for the next 9 or 10 days I would be around a lot of...
