Update: Ti Lagon, Haiti


Evening meal
The team from Global Compassion left the campus yesterday (Thursday). They were such a blessing to us – thank you Steve, Jim, and Terry! God bless you. We enjoyed most breakfasts and evening meals together.

Campus Suzuki
A huge thanks goes to Denny Mitchell for all the work he has done. Not only on the campus, but also the work he has done on the campus vehicle that Living Water Ministries has provided. Having the Suzuki here gives us the possibility of going to nearby villages rather than taking the ATV. Also, if needed, we can now get to Port au Prince in the event of an emergency. It brings great peace of mind to all of us. With the help of Mary and Emily, we started to work up the garden two days ago. It’s a slow process due to the heat. The soil has eroded from the nearby hillside to this bottom area. It’s the only place that I have seen around here that has real dirt and not just rock on it. By last night we had the large shade house area worked up. By the Grace of God, the water lines that were run to it a few years ago were still all functioning! So we gave the extremely dusty dirt a good watering. We will plant it soon. It will be interesting to see what grows!

Two gardens will be inside the shade houses
Ken has been busy making shelves for our house. He does such a great job! We now have a couple shelves in the kitchen and 4 nice sized shelves in the bedroom. The next project is to build a chicken coop so we can get a few chickens. We are so fortunate that both Ken and Mary have taken the month out of their lives to serve here in Haiti!
Today we went to the village of Ti Anes. Stopped at the school and met with the kids and teachers there. They remembered Gail and me from the last time we were here. Just our luck it soon was recess time, so we enjoyed playing with them.

We then walked through the village and stopped by the ocean for awhile. After a short break, we headed to the village of Baie de Henne. We drove to one of the 4 churches that Living Water Ministries built and support. The pastor came out to greet us and showed us the church. After a brief stay, we went to the open market to look for eggs. We got a good deal on 5 dozen eggs! Next to the small market is a little building where we got a couple bottles of soda. Drank them down and headed back to the campus.

We give our Lord the glory for giving us the opportunity to serve Him here in the Northwest of Haiti. It is by your support and prayers that His work can be furthered! God bless!
In His Service,
Chuck & Gail
Ti Lagon, Haiti
