Broken Leg

We've had a new wrinkle come about on our worksite. After working a whole week putting a roof on a trailer, Doug slipped in the mud while jumping a mud puddle and broke the fibula bone down by his ankle. We had an inch of rain on Saturday and the soil gets real slimy when it rains. Now he's on crutches and he is running errands for anyone around. I'm still in the kitchen cooking and baking up a storm for 24 people every day.

We watched sugar cane being harvested on Saturday and that was interesting. There is a lot of muck fields around here. It reminds us a lot of home.

Last week we finished 7 homes. Some were a little work to some extensive work done. The clients have been so happy to have their homes back. It is such a blessing to see their faces while the work is being done, but especially when it is complete. Even when they can't speak English, the look on their faces says it all! Will write more later~ Doug & Mary

Hey Doug and Mary,
Sorry to here about doug's leg that really stinks... I hope he recovers quickly. Those 24 people are pretty darn lucky to have such a good cook too. (i'm a little jealous.) Keep up the good work down there and try to stay safe. I'll keep praying for you guys...
