The last few days have been a little rough emotionally. We're not feeling our normal pleasant selves. There are various reasons for this, but we are trying to not grow weary. The adoption stuff is not moving and there is uncertainty about where our paperwork is and what (if anything) is needed. The communication is so very poor (welcome to Haiti). That's only a portion of our burden.
Kayla's Blessing
Kayla has been reading "Ten Girls Who Made History" and recently came to the end. During her prayer, she asked God for another book (George Mueller-style - because we have been reading about George Mueller). Two days later, a package arrived from some friends of ours from our home church containing "Ten Girls Who Made A Difference" in a package all by itself with a nice note to Kayla. Thank you Bill and Nancy! The Lord's timing is impeccable.
Database
I have been spending a bit of time working on an Access database. We are building it to replace various things from hand-written ledger entries in multiple books and hand-written run sheets to get items from stores to printing various reports. It's looking pretty good and should make things more efficient - eliminating multiple entries and allowing for better reporting, tracking, and research. I enjoy having the option to sit in front of a computer to work on this database after lifting 50Kg sacks into trucks.
Update
No update on the gentleman who borrowed money. I was hoping to hear how his daughter's surgery went. I'll keep you updated.
Boring Car Stuff...
Our vehicles have been delivering the massive amount of food that we got in recently. The Canter is not going out because we do not have the license sticker on the windshield - we are working on getting a new one. The old Toyota has been going out and I just replaced the front differential seal because it was starting to leak real bad. That old Toyota is going out almost over loaded on really poor roads (non-paved) and making it like a champ. Too bad we can't buy these vehicles in the States!
The big steakbed is leaking differential fluid out of the rear hub. Annes started to work on that yesterday afternoon when he got back from shopping for car parts and he & I will finish it up today - putting a new seal on it.
We'll see what comes up today...
