April 2 in "the Cap"

Hilarious! I figured out how I am able to get sporadic wireless internet (a coupla days ago I mentioned that I stumbled onto a "live" corner where I'm staying but couldn't figure out how it was possible!). Turns out, the "hotel" office below has a simple "iinksys" router (like the first one we got and I used to fight with back in Quito)...and that is the system I was somehow able to fix yesterday. Lo and behold: fixing their problem got me back up online in my li'l corner -- and they're perfectly cool with me using it from up here!

It is just one more thing to add to the growing list of things that have happened that can only be explained One way! Wanna hear another one? I mentioned earlier in the day on a Facebook post that I had a few unexpected quiet hours this morning -- to ponder, reflect and even weep. Then my thoughts turned to the final three nights of the "campaign," final preparation for tomorrow's "leader training" -- and the hilariously unexpected invitation to bring the message at Cap Haitien's largest church...on Resurrection Sunday!!!

So, there I was, studying/praying for Sunday and I started thinking I might need to head out to grab something to drink (there is a surprisingly well stocked but horrifically expensive li'l shop right by here; I'm guessing that is thanks to the UN compound around the corner). A knock on the door; in walks Pastor Adam with a mix of sodas and juices -- 4 cans, 2 bottles. A typical crushing bear-hug and, "Ahhhhh, my friend...we just thought you might be thirsty."

"Lord, you know how much I appreciate it...but 6 drinks? What about the tens of thousands around me with nothing?"

Hmmmmmm...'scuse me; I think I gotta go take a walk. I have a few "things" I need to hand out.
