Joyful, Joyful We are thankful

Our blog is spotty as is the internet in Jacmel.  We have been all so very busy and the children are so happy and all have come to life in the outdoors!  It is a lot of smiling, running. playing and learning. The learning curve for all is very steep.  We have accidentally emptied the cistern. ( left faucets on when power was off, when power came back on in middle of night everyone thought it was raining).  Emptied a months worth of propane. Turned off the flame but did not turn off the propane. We are all learning so much.  I even know how to fill the cistern from the well!
The concept of bathroom is so new. We are taking turns spending the night to help in cottages. Leading them to the toilet in their sleep instead of a bucket or outside. Brushing our teeth in a sink, taking a shower and not going under the faucet for the cloths washing area! Last night I spent time turing on the lights and fans. Why are we sitting in the dark?  This is followed by much excitement and praising God.
The dining hall is such a blessing also.  Everyone sitting together and you can hear a pin drop.
The children continue to capture our hearts. They are truly gifts from God.
Time to take 47 children to the beach for their first swim!  need prayers for sure!
