Work on the cisterns is progressing very well. The men from the Atrel church have done a fantastic job of preparing the floors and the first row of blocks are ready. This afternoon the 6 men from Peoples Church in Toronto, Ontario arrived in Port-au-Prince and tomorrow they will make the trip up here to Atrel.
This coming week they will be working along side the Atrel church men to finish 2 of the 4 cisterns. This is truly a blessing to have these cistern being built.
This area is currently going through a very severe drought. Springs are dry and animals are dying from hunger. Just last week in church they announced that in one area several dead cows, sheep, goats and donkeys had been found, in case people couldn't find their animals. Note: Right now when there are no crops in the ground people just let their animals wander where ever they can find food and water. Join us in praying that God would send rain.

Jonathan has recently started having a few driving lessons. He really enjoys driving the gator up the hill when ever he has an opportunity.
We currently have a small crew of men who are doing some work on our front yard driveway. The kids are loving "working" along side the men when they finish school.
