There really are no seasons in Haiti. It is hot and hotter. There is the dry season and wet season, though. Right now, we are in the middle of the dry season and the compound and mountains behind us turn brown. When this happens, our almond trees turn a brilliant red for several weeks and then all the leaves fall off and new green leaves immediately replace them. This is as close as we get to "fall" here, but we sure enjoy the beautiful colors while it happens.
It has been a very busy time with teams and large projects on the compound. The men worked long hours rebuilding the generator house and then installing and wiring 2 new 100 KW generators to power all the facilities on the compound. The job is almost complete and we are very thankful for those who came and helped our guys. It would have taken weeks without the extra hands.
Jensky, our little burn baby, is doing very well. He is slowly healing and has even gained a little weight which really thrills us as burn patients often lose weight due to all the protein their body needs to heal. We will post more pictures as he heals. In the meantime, we have gotten three more babies (they come in cycles it seems) and the clinic can get very noisy when they are all there.
We have been starting to plan more on how we could possibly start our youth camps on a smaller scale while Samaritan's Purse still occupies our conference center. Pray that we can work out the details and logistics to get this ministry off the ground.
