Fun with a Generator

Load the generator onto a large truck, sounds like a simple task right??  Well in Haiti it easily becomes an all morning project.


It was decided that the best place to park the truck was in the playground against the steps leading from the road.  After carefully positioning the truck they had to build a large ramp.  This required several pieces of plywood and carefully placed concrete blocks to support the ramp.  Then they had the fun task of cautiously moving the generator down the road without it going down the road by itself :)

Thankfully when there is a difficult task to do, everyone is willing to join in and help.

Mission accomplished! 
The following morning the truck took the generator out to the camp where it was installed and is providing much needed electricity for the camp.
 
Another praise!  Some of you may recall that following the earthquake I wrote a blog about our trucks and how they were old and we were praying that God would keep them running to keep distributing supplies to people.  Click here if you want to read it.   Jan 2010 truck blog

A couple of months ago God blessed us with a new large truck.  (The truck pictured in this picture)  We are so thankful to have a new very reliable truck.  God is so good!
