Teamhouse Trials

Hello everybody!

I have resolved my internet access and will resume posting. Sorry for my disappearance over the last couple weeks, but I am in a developing nation and internet is not as easy to come by (this is what i have to keep telling myself as i go through internet withdrawl).

A team from Iowa has been here over the last week, and we tore apart the team house (the house that teams and I live in). We tore down all the interior walls, poured new wall footings, started laying block walls, and layed a bunch of tile. The guys here were very energetic, fun, and encouraging. Especially a guy named Tony who i got to know more than the others. Also, the Haitian guys loved learning how to tile! We got a lot done, but I am pretty tired. Tonight I am going to make myself a little dinner, read a bit, and get to bed early. Ahh...sleep :)

This next week, we have a team from seattle here to study a river and a possible bridge, so that should be very interesting.

This last couple weeks has been kind of up and down. My attitude has not really been where it should be. I've been very focused on myself and my comforts. It has been a great reminder as to why I am here: serve without the expectation of gratitude for the joy of serving the Haitian people and my awesome God. I am praying that He will continue to build in me a servant's attitude. What a work in progress I am ;)
