The week in Chambellan is over now and the team is back at Cite Lumiere, the missionary compound in Les Cayes. Today has been a much-needed break in our trip. To avoid burnout, we stayed at the retreat center in Zanglais last night, a paradise of a place 25 miles east of Cayes. It came at just the right time, since we were coming off three days of hard work building a roof on the church building and clearing out the interior to get it ready for Tuesday night service. Add to that the emotional farewell Wednesday morning and seven hour drive over the rugged mountains and we were beat. So we crashed by the Caribbean Sea last night, some of us sleeping in the gazebo to the sound of waves crashing onto shore. Followed by rain. Oh yeah. But we survived. Today we chilled by -- and for most if us in -- the Caribbean and headed back to the guest house in Cayes. This is our first Internet contact in nearly six days. I'll have more to share later today when I get the chance but I wanted to let you know we were all right and have had a most marvelous trip. The church in Chambellan is amazing. The brothers and sisters there are concerned about you and have been praying for you. They pray God's blessings for our church. It was amazing to hear their prayers. We each will have a lot to say.
More later.
