Tonight our team is sitting around enjoying an evening of
games and cards. This team has worked hard
and gotten into the swing of things quickly.
Today our finish carpenters ,Wynn and Mahlon, worked on
making cupboards and shelving for MPCA school and clinic. Painters were kept
busy staining the cupboards and scraping and painting the walls in the eating
area. Jeff Laing has been drawing and
updating blue prints. Mark and crew are
putting new wiring in Rachel’s Inn. Some
of the construction team were at Chardene school working on a new roof. Painting
on the other roofs will begin tomorrow.
The nurses had two seminars today. Forty two women from
Dupin came to the seminar, 32 of which were pregnant. Two needed to be sent to a clinic in
Pierre Payen because of high blood
pressure. Lanzac had 20 women attend. These seminars were mainly for women who
attend our churches.
Liane’s sewing classes are a big success. She has more ladies attending than expected
and she even had to turn several away due to lack of materials. Most are church ladies but several aren’t. It is a great outreach to the community.
A photography team went to Dupin, and Lanzac schools to update pictures of 450 students. Everyone enjoys this assignment because it’s a day spent with the children. Katie Hieronimus made a special connection with a little girl named Madjindie. She is in preschool and an orphan. She has also lost her grandparents. Katie was able to tell Madjindie that she also lost her daddy. I think it was an instant bond for them. Katie plans to be her sponsor when she gets home.
Please keep praying.
Love to all our friends and family,
Heather H.
