wrapping up!

I know I've said before on here that Uncle Don is a machine...it must be something in the water in Pilesgrove, New Jersey, because The Machine brought a bunch of machines with him.

I cannot believe how much this team has accomplished this week...completely tiled and grouted EIGHT rooms in the men's dorm and then some, plowed, built and poured a huge, curving sidewalk, consulted and treated over 300 people, led a worship service for the students, spent an evening in English conversation with the students, hiked to church, had a Good Friday service this morning....

 Before the Good Friday service...and by the end.

Machines.  Machines with really good attitudes and tireless spirits.

Plus lots of late evenings playing games, watching movies, talking about everything under the sun, growing in community and being an encouragement to Matt and I...helping with dishes, giving good medical counsel, random moments of really good conversation, playing with Lily...

What a blessing this incredibly busy week has been!  Their choice to be positive, uplifting, encouraging and uncritical people makes those around them become the same way...it is a blessing to be easily swayed in these godly directions by their influence!  This group has continually made us grateful to be a part of Sharptown, grateful to have family here, and grateful to be a part of God's ministry here in Haiti.
