Weary?

Friday morning of the last day...
Roosters up first at 4:25 am--quite noisy. Yesterday was what I would label as a weary day. Temps well into the 80's making work on the wall more challenging. Bricks seemed a little heavier, the road a little rustler, and the distance a little longer. Work is progressing. Hopefully the right side of the wall will be completed today. If so, a celebration party "on the wall" will take place end of day with Haitian laborers side by side with FUMC team.
Yesterday was a national holiday of grief, marking the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake. Hard not to think about it has affected these people. They need prayers.
We remain focused in our projects. Dr. Scott has more than enough patients-----went over the radio waves that an American physician is in the clinic and the sick form a steady stream leading to Gebeau clinic.
A "ribbon cutting" of sorts is scheduled at the high school, unveiling of all the computers. Some of the team will go to market today to help purchase necessities noted at the orphanage. Will need driver and translator...should be interesting as these "shops" hardly compare to the meager of souks.
We also have the desire to visit the elderly home which is supported by the church. It was in horrible condition in August, yet Reverend Chrisnel has taken an interest in it's improvement so we hope to see some positive change. Nancy
