The time went so quickly that Russ and Josh actually escaped before they wrote a post on the blog. Not to be deterred, however, I made them promise to send me their posts when they got home :) Here is Russ'...
Wow! Where do I start with this most recent
visit to Lemuel? Each time I visit, it
is hard to believe how much has changed in so little time. God’s hand is very visible in the development
that is occurring on the Plateau.
I would like to say thanks to Manis, Judy
and Krischelle and also to the Lemuel
house staff for making me feel at home and comfortable. I heard that the phrase “If you want
it, we don’t have it” might be more prevalent in the near future. That may be
the case, but they do have everything you may need.
With the progress on the school moving
forward, it was good to get some ground work put together so that when the material arrives, the guys
there can use their skills to finish the roof.
I just hope Sam can figure out my Canadian construction methods. Sorry Sam, everything is in feet and inches.
Also, a heartfelt thanks to Thony, Lucson,
Obed and Tiga for proving the point that I can’t play basketball. Even though I think my team only won 1 game
out of who knows how many, I don’t think it was the score that really
counted. It is those type of memories
that make these visits memorable. Also
again to Thony, the daily Kreole lessons paid off in Miami when we were able to
let our server know that her flirting comments with Josh did not go
unnoticed. Who knew the ladies could
turn so red?
I would also recommend that if you are ever
in the area, to make it to the Samdi Speciale over at the
shop. The food and entertainment is
awesome. Way to go Wiliamso and
friends!!
I can hardly wait for the next visit. Again, merci beaucoup. Na we pi ta!
Russ
