Here they are deciding how to tear down the wall... this is the wall that separates my house from H2H and the wall was almost leaning against our house. Renel is the one in the back, standing on the stairs, making sure they don't take down our house too :)
Mission accomplished:
Making the fence:
The Marines shared their rations with the kids... which was very exciting since each meal package had snacks, desert, juice and other treats along with the main course.
Spirit have really risen over the past few days and all of our guys chipped in this morning with the work. They courageous climbed on the roof to recover our water barrels:
They recovered our temporary sleeping shelter with more palms leaves and some tarps we received from Doctors without borders:
They started stacking the fallen bricks that can be reused and cleaning up the rubble:
They also sifted through the fallen guest house to recover some of the floor tiles:
And now for the best news of all... mango season has started!!!!!!

This just made my day, along with yesterday's post. Thank you SO MUCH for keeping us updated with pictures, especially of the kids. Those smiling faces look more like the ones I remember :)
If you get a chance, please give Eliyou a big hug from me. We are praying every day as a class that you get the supplies and help that you need.
Wish I could be there to help!
Awesome pics Becca! I'm so glad the kids and you have some food again. Miss you!
If I sent a box of clothes for the kids (ages 6-7 boys and 9-12 girls) could you use it? My children went through their dressers because they were overflowing and we have a lot of nice stuff. Let me know if it would work for you and where to send it. You can contact me at my blog. I can hold onto to it for a while so things can settle down there first before I send a big box of stuff.
I am glad the guys are sharing their MREs. They really have a ton of food in them.
One step...one brick at a time...thank you God for renewed hope, for answered prayer.
It is so good to see hope rising out of all the disaster. Love the smiles, love the pictures, love your words. You are God's hands & feet in Haiti!

Today at lunch prayer Caleb thanked Jesus that you were in Haiti.
"even though the houses have all fallen down, it is good that Rebecca is there"
affirmation from a 4 year old.
I 100% agree with that very wise 4 year old boy, it's good that you are there! It's great top read such positive things! Stay strong!
Love, Heather
My girls and I are praying for Haiti daily. Thank you for taking time to share the pictures and share about your day. It keeps it real for me and gives us specifics to pray for.
