CRS, Groceries, Rack

This morning, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) dropped off a bunch of food for distribution through the Baptist Haiti Mission. This will be added to the other food from other sources and distributed. Samaritan's Purse also secured NFIs (Non-Food Items) for distribution. They include a cleaning pack, hygine pack, and cooking pack (each in a highly valued 5-gallon pail). One of the guys from Samaritan's Purse also went up north to help out and install a large water filter for the community. He had the last two nights of sleep in some pretty rough conditions - getting little sleep (we had five extra guys over for dinner tonight and he was one of them telling stories of his day because he just got back before we ate).


Groceries

We like grocery day for many reasons, one of the reasons is for the cardboard boxes. We get about five minutes of fire in the fireplace from the boxes. We make a pretty big deal of it by gathering some snacks and drink and sitting on the couch to watch it burn. It's great fun! We'll probably save it for Tuesday night.


Boring car stuff...

After shopping we started working on rack for the new blue Isuzu. We got about 20% of it built and have more to do come next week. Here is Gerbin chopping the angle iron and the second picture is Kyrk welding. I was the hold, measure, mark, and sawzall guy. The next picture of it will hopefully be of it completed next week.
