Hello from Patrick in Jeremie

so hello from jeremie. it is so different here then the big city. we went to the work sight today for the first time after sketchy small airplane ride on a dirt airplane strip with cows walking across. once we arrived to the worksite, we were surprised to find many, many workers (120 total) who were mixing concrete at the speed of lightning. it was insane! we started to get involved with the workers by helping mix concrete in the 103-105 degree heat. there were many little kids that some of our team played games with and taught. peace out for now!

  4. oh!! i am soo excited you guys got a chance to update the blog. thank you patrick. i know that the internet there is kinda sketchy, but it means a lot to the people stuck in lexington to hear about how the trip is going. i love reading about all the good times you guys are having in haiti. it's almost like i'm there. (but not really.) i hope you guys will work hard next week and keep up the good work you are doing. please make sure you drink lots of water in that heat. everyone here loves you and misses you and we can't wait for you guys to get back safe and sound so that we can hear about the wonderful things the Lord has done for you and for others down there.
