What a wonderful night with the rain on the roof, very refreshing. Got up and caught up on and posted my journals, and then finished and folded my laundry before breakfast. After biscuits and gravy Melissa and I went to Sonel’s and found the one bed sore had taken quite a downhill turn, and the person that is renting the room had all their stuff moved in, which means that they paid already and we are wondering when Sonel and his dad are going to have to be out of the house. When we got back I spent a couple of hours helping two of the ladies and a young man work on organizing the OR and the recovery room. It was a lot of fun, because I got to organize and I LOVE to do that. We worked until lunch and then, after lunch and cancelling Erin class for her because she is still at the Orphanage, Roland and I went downtown to try and buy some stuff that I wanted to take home and some things that Miss Pat needs for her house. We found NONE of the things that I set out to buy, but that is ok because we are going to Port-au-Paix tomorrow and I know I will find everything there. We got back at about 230 and I went back to helping Carmen, Robin, and Jordan organize. They recruited Sarmone while I was out, so I only helped for about 40 minutes because there were too many people involved. So I came up to the dining hall and chatted with some of the other people that came in with the group, and checked up on my email until dinner. I had time so I showered before dinner today and then after dinner and dishes I helped Carmen hook up a wireless adapter to her laptop and then we had devotions. During devotions, T-man came up and stole Melissa away, because her little baby was coughing a lot and running a fever. Mike and I went down to see them after devotions and her fever was down to 101 from 103 so we had a prayer for her and headed back. Mostly everyone went to bed early again because it was a long day and another one was in store, I however am not ready and was chatting with some of the gentlemen about how to get to places in Port-au-Paix and how long it takes to get to Miss Pats and Beau Champ. Highlight of the day was this amazing chocolate cake with white icing that Melissa made for desert, it was phenomenal. Well that about does it for me today. Peace.
