St Vincent 2/27/87

Roosters crowed all night. No water at 6:30 AM. Corn Flakes for breakfast at 7:00 AM. Devotional 7:30 AM Roy read a letter from his daughter. I should get a copy of it. Laid cement block, mixed mortar, sifted sand, built doors, knocked out walls today. No water at noon to wash in. No water at  5PM.   Several went to the ocean to swim in salt water. The walk back and the salt didn't help much. Ron and I were asked to go pick up part of the dental team. We stopped at a fresh water stream ,where a girl was washing clothes using water and rocks, and took a bath in the stream.

Went down to the squeeze and drank a beer. Squeeze is a place where you can buy anything and be entertained.

Water line across on top of the road.

Stella is the lady who is looking after us. Her sons helped us all  day and carried water all evening.

Stella.

Mr Williams two sons worked with yesterday and today. Names were difficult to understand. The children( 10 to 15 years old) all want to know your name and they want you to know theirs.

Water came on about 9 PM. Will last only an hour or so. A shower is in order. Cold shower.  Change in prospective.Before we come we cringed at the thought of a cold shower. Now we would give anything for one.
