If you read Ernest’s blog you know what the boys did on Sunday. Well while they were out playing, Cindy was working. I think I get double time on Sunday! The clinic was going to try out the new portable surgical room that the Swiss contributed and I got asked to scrub the case. It really is a neat setup. It is a self-contained unit. They were taking pictures and photographing for the Swiss to see how it was working. Pretty cool! As I was traveling over to the clinic there were many Haitians out walking to go to church. They had Bibles in the hands and all dressed up. Once I got to the clinic I realized they were having a church service across the street. They were singing a song that I recognized by the tune even though the words were in French. I got charged spiritually by that. These people amaze me. They have nothing yet are happy and willing to walk to church to praise God. Maybe that is why they are happy – because they make the effort to praise God. Some of you have been concerned with my GI problem. I am fine thanks to cipro and pepto. I’ve been avoiding alot of foods also. Today when I was coming back from the clinic there was a mob gathered around a motorcycle. I thought maybe there had been an accident. My driver said the police were checking to see if they had a license. When I told him my son was a policeman he seemed shocked. I don’t know if they like the police here or not. Couldn’t tell and we could not communicate enough to figure it out. Everywhere you go there are goats tied up. They eat them. Dogs everywhere and very few cats. They have cows but don’t eat them and pigs which they do eat. I went down to the ocean today and stuck my toes in the sand. It was nice. That was my pay for working Sunday, I guess. Ernest has expressed that there may be a problem getting out of here, but Doc and I are not worried about it. Please don’t worry. It will be alright. I think Ernest just wants to get home to his “beautiful young bride who wanted to get off the farm”. He sure thinks alot about you Sonia and brags about you all the time. You’d think he was in love or something. Go figure. Need to go now. Love to all and keep praying..
