It has been a very busy last day here in Deye Mon. Everyone has been working hard to finish up
all the loose ends and pack up everything. Sorry, no time to upload any photos. :(
The construction team finished the roof and gutters for the
house and school office. The ceiling of
the house was replaced. Most of their
day was spent packing up the shop and making an inventory of everything that is
staying here. They also packed up a
truck of tools and supplies to take back down the mountain.
Liane had her final sewing class (with help from Whitney) and bid a bittersweet
farewell to her students. The ladies all
finished their quilts and were ecstatic at their success. They each received a certificate and one lady
even picked up Liane in a great big bear hug to thank her.
The medical team gave worm medicine to every student at the
school today. They also registered all
of them and recorded their weights. Amy
taught the basic hygiene seminar to all the students with the help of various
interpreters. Andrea saw over 50
patients today in between packing up the pharmacy and helping with the school
kids. All the older students received
vitamins today as well.
Tonight the mission house is a flurry of activity. Everyone is busy packing their personal
items, bagging up coffee, packing team items, cleaning up, helping create various inventories of kitchen equipment, household
supplies, misc. tools, etc. etc. etc.
The plan (and we all know how tentative that can be) is to finish packing up and leave Deye Mon tomorrow
morning. We will eat a packed lunch on
the road and hopefully arrive safely at our overnight location in
Port-au-Prince in the early evening.
Thank you for all your prayers for us these final days. We have two long days of travel ahead of
us. Please keep praying for safety and
energy as we travel home. God has been
so good. We praise Him for His promises,
provision and presence.
