Witchner came with me to LPVEC where he spent most of the day working on his laptop in my office. He was preparing the material for a presentation at Monday Night Missions Prayer for January 7th.
I introduced him to the people I work with and took him on a tour of our state-of-the-art career and technical education center where he was astounded that this school was for high school students. It seemed like he really couldn't believe it wasn't a college. I told him Americans were amazed by how nice the facility was also.
We hit Stop and Shop to grab a few groceries and a sandwich, then back to the office. He got a couple of phone calls from Haiti while there, including a nice long one from Amoce.
At home he helped start the woodstove, and watched in fascination as I vacuumed the living room carpet. He had never heard of a vacuum cleaner and was surprised at how it worked. I unplugged the hose and had him hold his hand up to the vacuum, so he could feel how it sucked. It had never occurred to me that he wouldn't know what a vacuum cleaner was.
We just downloaded Google Earth and he's entranced with poking around and looking at his country. I expect he'll spend a good part of the night doing that.
We had a Mustard Seed board meeting at the house tonight. Mark, Jean and Zach came. Zach and Witchner enjoyed seeing each other again. The report on the board meeting will be posted on the Mustard Seed blog.
