Linda visited a cyber cafe downtown CAP as the earthquake disabled the internet service at Dorothy's home. She reported that the solar panels arrived yesterday...good news, they were early and that the airpot is really congested (it was before) with relief workers entering there and busing down to PAP.
They have been working on drilling wells and at the clinic. Weather is good, life is pretty much normal except for the extra people everywhere who are seeking out their relatives for shelter.
Tonight, after the Won. Wed. meal, The Tile Doctor...Hank Visser...gave our team a brief lesson on laying out a room for a quality tile job. He had a few tips for leveling a difficult floor, which we have in places, and how to get the moisture content of the "thinset cement" just right. We learned to work in 24" grids and how to work as a team if space allows several bodies in the same area.
Dorothy reported that her doctor has cleared her to return to Haiti on Feb. 23rd and she'll go there with her daughter. Dorothy feels strong but gets tired pretty fast...needs to work on that.
As the song says..."our bags are packed...we're ready to go" and we are grateful for your genuine support and prayers.

"Cyber Cafe"....like that ;-) Thanks Staton for all the updates. I didn't get a chance to talk to you last night but you & the team are not far from my mind. Wishing you all a safe trip.
