Back At It

Today we headed back to the Habitat site and continued our work digging out latrines. I'm pretty sure the pictures don't do it justice, but the majority of what we're trying to clear away is rock - that makes it hard and slow going. Tomorrow we'll finish our time at Habitat in the morning, and then we're headed to another orphange for the rest of the afternoon.

One person to keep in your prayers is Rachel. During our weekend of pony trekking she got thrown from her horse and landed pretty hard (thank goodness for those ridiculous looking helmets they made us wear). Initally, she was pretty sore, and didn't think too much of it. After a painful day yesterday we decided to take her in to have it checked out this morning. 4.5 hours, 2 X-Rays, and some pain medicine later we're happy to report that it only seems to be a bruised muscle or two and she should be fine. So pray for a full night's rest tonight, and a speedy recovery. Her attitude has been great and she wins the "Trooper of the Trip" award.

A special thanks to all of you who wrote notes of encouragement for us. We wake up each morning and find something hanging from a clothesline in the kitchen. It's a great way to start each day and be reminded of the love and support so many of you have shown each of us during our time here (and it's especially funny that each of the notes talk about our time in Ethiopia - but we've made the switch just fine).
