Hello from Haiti again.
Today was another successful day.
Bev, Heather and Ruth hiked to Dupin with 50 pound backpacks loaded with
hygiene kits. I think we have a few sore
necks and tired bodies. It was such a
blessing to have Ruth interpret for us with her medical background.
The guys kept busy today.
Jake managed to get a little sunburnt while repairing roof leaks with
Mark. (Yes Mom and Dad, he did wear sunscreen!) Jake’s youth and strength has been handy to
have this week. Dave kept busy with
woodworking and hanging doors. Reuben
and Jeff started shop inventory and prepared equipment for moving. Dan and Steve hung a blackboard and a new
storage cabinet at the vocational school.
Dan’s knee seems to be doing a little better after his mango tango!
Pam, Jean, and Carrie traveled to MPCA to instruct the
nursing students. We were blessed to
have the school’s physician with us today.
We dissected a pig heart and the students were very eager to learn. As they gathered around the heart, it was fun
to see their enthusiasm.
Monita, our Haitian kitchen helper, did some special cooking
at lunch today. French fries, fried
plantain, and peekleez (spicy onion and habanero) were some local foods on our
menu.
Liane had another sewing class today. This has been a delightful group of ladies to
work with. There has been much bonding
as we share laughter, devotional time, and of course lots of sewing! The ladies are pretty excited to finish up
their projects and graduate on Monday.
Katie and Brittany were a big help in class and the Haitian girls loved
taking their pictures with them.
Thanks for all the support at home. Please keep praying for our safety and that
we all will finish strong.
