safety measure. I always eat some of the native food
 and try to fill up on fruit (like bananas or oranges)
 which have the least possibility of contamination.
 They appreciate it when I eat with them, but I wish
 I had never heard of the germ theory of disease when
 I brush away the swarms of flies and other insects.
 E-- is quite taken with the idea that we Americans
 aren't as strong as the Haitians in warding off diseas-
 es (we get diarrhea and stomach upset easily), but
 I think that they are actually sick more often than
 we are. They are like the Spanish mananaa" with
 their "demain" when it comes to work. If you get
 one piece of business done, why crowd another into
 the same day? You might not have anything to do
 tomorrow!

July 16-Have both been ailing for a month. Started
 with intestinal flu. Heat seems to affect us more
 now than at first. We might be going through some
 bodily adjustments to the climate. May have to try
 living at a little higher elevation where it's cooler.
 Plan a limited Bible school in October.
 We can see very little future in Haiti unless we
 train some preachers.

July 17-We don't seem to be able to stand the heat
 as well as when we first came. We tire very easily.
 But we're taking it fairly easy. You have to in Haiti.
 There is no earthly way of doing anything fast in
 Haiti. For instance, this morning I tried to pay a
 garage bill again for the third time and they didn't
 have it made out yet. So- I'll go back tomorrow
 and the next day until they finally get around to
 doing it. It is the same way with everything else.
 It gets on your nerves if you aren't careful. But
 after a while you just learn that you have to slow
 down too.
