St Vincent 2\26\87

Up at 6:30.  Breakfast and devotion at 7:00 am. Assigned clean up duty. Second flat tire last night while Jim and Gerald were using the car. I took the work tools to work this morning. Flat tire when I arrived. I promised Joel that I would have ti repaired before I returned. Jack didn't work. Borrowed one from John Fenner, the area minister from England, to put on the tire repaired last night.

Poured floor, laid block, cut hole in wall for door, built one door frame..

Shower time. After I completed my shower-no water. Truck ran over the water line. Repaired by 9:30 PM.

Dental compressor unit we brought which runs drills etc and the compressor which controls suction hose both need repair. Got them working OK.

Went to Mr William's house and drank coconut milk after work. Neighbor boy climbed  a tree and brought down a coconut. Mr. Williams opened it with his machete. Next he opened a more mature coconut with meat inside. Mr Williams is the local builder. He is acting as construction foreman.

After Joel, the dentist who came with us, got back today after a full day of working on teeth, a 14 year old boy was waiting with a toothache. On a kitchen chair in the back lot- novocain, extraction..
Rooster crowed all night, dogs barked all night, donkey brayed all night.

Down at the Squeeze the music covers the entire neighborhood. South American beat. Jim and Gerald off to a youth meeting.
