So after devos today, we heard some thunder, saw some lightning, then came the rain. It poured, and do I mean poured! It was great! It was girls shower night, so the line was starting to form, but instead, we donned our bathing suits and took a shower outside! A spicket like stream came from nearby tree, and we all took our turn. Me, Lauren, and Megan took our razors, and shaved out there too! Definately a way to conserve water! We danced, sang, took pictures, and definately acted like crazy foreigners! Occasionally a nearby door would open, and out would pop some nannies. We said, Bon Swa! and they would laugh and say Bon Swa back. They thought we were crazy! I finally feel cool, very rarely does that happen here. Last night I was sweating when I was laying in bed, and woke up sweaty many times throughout the night, so this feels great. The air is cooler, and the rain was kind of cold, it was wonderful. After a few bad nights of sleep and occasional dehydration, headaches, and stomache aches for the team, this was so nice, and made us all feel clean and ready to go again. Its nice how great just a bit of rain can be, God definately has taken care of us in all the little ways as well as the big ways, thanks for prayers!

Hey Kelly, I think you've been the most faithful blogger ... you're doing a great job of keeping us all informed about what is happening. I love hearing your take on everything. Being a "veteran" Haiti goer, I enjoy hearing someone's first-time take on being there. Keep up the great posting!
Hi Kelly,
This page is a wonderful thing for all of us back home. How you tell things and all the pictures sure help us to understand a little of how it is going there. I can't wait to hear more of the stories. One thing I am curious about is how hot it is really getting there. I hope you have a wonderful day of Bible school today, it looks like "everybody" is enjoying themselves!!
