Week Two Begins
And once again...no internet for most of the day. Apologies once again for not posting a note to say the team from Haiti returned. They came back safe and sound but very tired. It was a really long day, but I hear it was worth it. The poverty, if you can believe it, is much worse. Even the land is stripped of it's resources. In contrast to Dominican Republic, which is lush and green, Haiti is brown and deforested. It is easier to understand why a family would walk for three days, even with babies and small children, to come to Dominican in search of hope and a better life.
The second-week people started working today. We added a new project today too. A village we did a medical clinic in last week had no water supply. Today the teams began digging a pipeline to connect this village to the main water supply. It's about 2km. No problem! Get out the pickaxes and shovels! We've started on the second level of the school. It will be a race to the finish line for this one. Lots of work to be done. The three homes are coming along nicely and should be completed by the end of the week.

Hi Corey and Nicole - we miss you so much already but we are very excited about what you and the team are accomplishing. Every time I look at the videos I cry and wish I could be there along side you both to help in any way I can. You guys are 'heros' and we love you so much. We'll continue to pray for your safety and for the job that lies ahead of you over the next few days. We look forward to seeing you both again on Sunday.
Love Mom, Jim and Kyle xoxoxo

Extremely glad to hear that the team from Haiti is back safe and sound. Can't wait to hear the stories about that journey! Only 5 days to go until we see you again Kyle..... cant wait! We are so very proud of you!
Guess what.... work hasn't called for you to come in a cover a shift... what a shock!
DJ had his bath and nail clip... didnt like the blow dryer though! He's ready and waiting for his TimBit!
Sassy's peeved because your bed is stripped and getting aired out so she has no place and no one to curl up with and sleep!
Petrie however is enjoying his DAILY fresh food and water.
Take care, HUGE HUGS, stay safe and LOVE you oodles and oodles!

Andrew, these other parents seem to really like their kids. Don't hurt them. Disregard the "voices".
We love you too.

Friday to Monday seem very long for us as we already miss you so much. It even felt better to hear your voice tonight. Hope you have a great week. We are so proud of you guys.

Hi Jeff C
Hope you are having as much fun in week 2 as you were in week 1. We check the site everyday and are excited about the work you are all doing. We are very proud of you all and wish we were there working along side of you. Stepanie has already started saving so she can go next year. Maybe Dad or I will get a chance to go with her. Make the most of you time, can't wait for you to come home.
Love Mom,Dad, Aaron and Steph.
P.S. Your tree is still alive but the deer are enjoying it.
