Just a quick update tonight. It's been a good week. Started with a quick getaway to Jacmel Sunday and Monday (more on that later) to spend time at Surf Haiti with Dr. Ken and Diane Pierce (www.surfhaiti.org). The World Race team is wrapping up their time here this week, with their last work day on Tuesday, followed by now three days of 'debrief' before they move on to Romania. Tomorrow for them is more debrief time, plus packing up tents and packs and such before they leave around 4am Sunday morning. I'm definitely going to miss many of the people on this team, as they have become good friends as we've all spent time together this last month. However, they all have blogs to follow, and there's always facebook, so i'm sure we'll be able to stay in touch as they travel the world.
Today was a great adventure to Port-Au-Prince to pick up what was supposed to be six of Travis's friends, plus a team of seven from Akron. As it turned out, we had all seven from Akron, but only Ian from Travis' crew, due to a broken airplane in DC this morning that prevented the rest of his team from getting to JFK in time for their connecting flight. They're spending the night in Miami (by way of DTW), and will be flying into PAP tomorrow morning.
I'm really excited to have the Akron crew here. It's going to be a great week, hopefully including lots of mechanic goodness and problem-solving, amongst other ongoing projects like painting and helping Angela with the school clinic. I know that we probably won't *quite* accomplish the goal of fixing every vehicle in the country in the next seven days, but we're going to try. :)
to Him be the Glory!

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
