Linda checked in with Dorothy 3:30pm today

Linda was able to reach Dorothy today by phone, until her calling card minutes ran out, and ALL IS WELL! Cap-Haitien even has electricity sometimes and they have it at the house, occassionally.

The banks are closed so they've had to be resourceful since the money changers don't take checks. They have been working at the clinic plastering and painting the food storage building, painting doors and tomorrow the MN team will drill a second well on the property. That well will have a hand pump on it for locals to obtain water for FREE.

There were no specific problems mentioned, a blessing, and the MN men were able to get the transmission for the 2nd truck installed. Some miising parts are on the way.

Yesterday Hanania and Bryan (MN team) went to the Dominican Republic and were able to bring back over 100 gallons of fuel for the truck and generators.

Our own Health Ministries Team raised more than they expected at their Wonderful Wednesday meal last night and this morning donated $150 to needs of the Soaring Unlimited Clinic. Thanks to all the preparers and attendees. Turkey meatloaf never tasted sooo good.

Email is not working at Dorothy's home, the tower that serves her company is located in PAP...Cyber Cafes have internet service but they haven't had time for such things. Their luggage did arrive yesterday so clothing and supplies that were packed with clothes are there.

The solar panels arrived at MFI yesterday so the project is coming together. No mention was made of the impact from an influx of Haitians migrating north to be with relatives or otherwise.
