Saturday night update sent home: God showed His beauty in the mountains of Haiti today. They were
shrouded in clouds all day. Late this afternoon a rainbow appeared. Gods promises are very comforting!
The Team had another amazing day. They topped out the east wall by noon! we need to do interior walls and close an opening we left in the east wall for access but that is for another team. The grouting crew is about half way around the building. we should finish that monday. we porridged a section on the front wall and inscribed a saying about Jesus. we also inscribed another area MIVO LOPITAL. Sunday will be a day of rest. you might see us at the beach after our 3 hour worship. the team is tired but smiling. thanks for the prayers.

God revealed Himself to us again today!  We are in the dry season and there isn't rain in the foreseeable future.  However, He blessed us with an amazing rainbow in the mountains today! We watched as the mountains to the north were shrouded in clouds most of the day.  We truly enjoyed the break from the hot sun again as well.  As we topped out the last wall there was a rainbow that appeared between the mountains.  It wasn't there for long but we were truly blessed as we were reminded of God's promise! I have thought of Noah several times as I look at this property on Google Earth.  It is dry and pretty much barren this time of year and there isn't much around, including water. I thought about how Noah trusted God when others thought he was crazy to build a boat in the middle of nowhere--I wonder about Dr. Etienne's vision of a hospital on this site as well. I wonder if he ever gets discouraged, it has been a long journey already.  I think God gave us a glimpse of affirmation today!
