Mangos

Hope you are all well and happy.  I'm extremely frustrated at my inabilities with technology.  The people here in the church have been so warm and sweet.  They are all pretty poor.  We have tons of people asking us for help in getting jobs.  It is so hard to not be able to help them right away.  We still need to set up an office and the new program is not ready to use yet.  I don't know if they have food to eat right now, but I guess they do since they're coming to church.  People who've visited the island see some of the poverty, but I don't think they begin to see how extensive it is.  There aren't a lot of jobs available and everything costs so much.  It's even expensive for us.  We've been treated well.  Lots of dinners and meetings with the mission leaders and Christmas dinners, etc.  We have a mango tree right outside our door.  Although it's not mango season, we have had ripe mangos from the tree.  Our manager tosses them up to us on the second floor. 

Got to go to bed.  Pleas share this with your family.  I love you all and appreciate being able to stay with you when I was there.

Have a great Christmas!
