Watch for updates and new photos in the January 2009 newsletter!     The New Community Well is Competed - Praise the Lord!   Funds have been raised and a replacement well has been drilled for the Grande Saline community that surrounds the mission.  The previous well is no longer functioning.  The new well will service over 5,000 people in the immediate area.  It has been placed on community land and will be governed by a community committee for maintenance and care. Check out the October 2008 LHM Newsletter for more information.  Thank you for making this new well possible!
