Hello from Haiti!
A group of team members had a great time at the LaHatte
school. Bev, Jean, Ruth, Brittany, Dave, and Dan made the hour and a half trip
to the school so Bev could teach the final feminine hygiene class. At the end
of class, Bev presented the gospel to the girls. She asked if the girls knew
Jesus and attended church. We were pleased to see that most of the girls said
yes! The group had plenty of time to visit with the children. We enjoyed the
hugs, handshakes, and high fives followed by games, skipping and dancing with
them. It was great to see the joy radiating from the smiles of the young
children.
Carrie finished her final class at the nursing school.
Throughout the week, Carrie was able to work with 35 students at the MPCA
vocational school. The students were given a test over all of the information to
see what they learned in her four classes. Katie went along to help out today
and enjoyed seeing Carrie work with the students.
Pam spent most of the day organizing (and pitching) at the
clinic. She is all prepared to go home now.
Jake, Jeff, Heather, Steve, and Liane traveled back to
Chardene to make some final classroom repairs. They were able to repair some
broken desks and hang a new chalkboard. Jake enjoyed a soccer game with some of
the students. Jake was impressed by their soccer skills. Steve was glad that he
was able to see his good friend, the principal one last time before traveling
home. The trip to Chardene ended with a time of prayer for the students and the
school.
Mark and Reuben spent the morning working at the vocational
at MPCA. They were able to finish up all of the projects for the week.
The entire team spent the afternoon and evening taking
inventory and packing. We are ready to go home but a little piece of our hearts
will still be here. We hope this trip will have a great impact on our worship
back in the states. I know that many Haitian – and American – hearts were
changed during the past month spent in this beautiful country.
Thank you all for praying for us and we will be seeing you
soon!
