Waiting for Isaac...

We are waiting for Isaac to hit! 

Carl ran around town doing errands today for Good Rest and picking up our last care packages. He also went and carefully walked the grounds at Good Rest. We still have some kids kids living in tents and he wanted to check to make sure that the tents would be secure for the night. We really need to get the last few dorm rooms built so that all of the kids have a safe place to sleep. 

It is dark now and we are getting ready to bunker down for the night. We keep getting gusts of strong winds and spatters of rain, but the storm has not really hit yet. Carl is making some JiffyPop popcorn for the kids while the power stays on, though it went out as soon as I started typing this update! Don't worry, the Jiffy Pop turned out fine :)

The kitchen sure isn't pretty, but it beats cooking under the mango tree like we had to do our first couple weeks!

Our hearts and prayers are with all of the Haitians living in tents. We hope that they are able to stay dry and that we all come through the storm safely. We will update you tomorrow as soon as we can to let everyone know how the kids at Good Rest fared over the night.

Good night all!
