November 2014 Medical Trip - Wednesday

Hike. Hike. Hike.  Today we went to Deageance, which is a little drive and then a strenuous, steamy and beautiful hike uphill.  God blessed us with another great clinic day, seeing over 100 patients (135+).  The school and the area is very remote and poor, and the people are VERY sweet and kind. The school has dirt floors, but the kiddos that attend there are lively and fun!  They made us realize that children are the same everywhere.

Our fearless leader, Pam, turned 25 today for the 32nd time!  We had fun celebrating her birthday with a Haitian birthday cake.

Here are a couple of pictures from our day:

Things have cooled off slightly with a nice rain shower this evening. We may or may  not be practicing dancing the "Macarena" for tomorrow.... See you then!

From Carol: Hello Rachel & Austin (AND SELAH!), all our love from Haiti.  Let me know if anything is going on at home, especially with Grandpa Memch.

Monday -
We did a medical clinic at DuPin.  We drove as far as we could and then HIKED up the mountain through rivers and steep inclines.  We saw over 120 patients and the dentists pulled over 50 TEETH!! We were also able to share the beautiful good news of Jesus with the patients as they were waiting to see the doctors.

Tuesday -
Today the medical team went to LaHat and again saw over 120 patients.  The dentists returned to DuPin to see people who still needed dental attention.  The Lord specifically answered our prayers for strength for the day.  We loved all the time with children today!! We enjoyed walking through LaHat and seeing the beautiful Haitian people and the beautiful mountainside.   Of course, we enjoyed another Haitian meal for dinner, had a great time sharing at our devotion time and now the heat is on through some Euchre Games.

Tomorrow we head to Deageance. Please pray for continued strength for our team, for opportunities to share Jesus and for God to use the medical team to treat patients. We will be hiking to the school once again.

November 2014 Medical Trip - Sunday

Today is Sunday, November 16, 2014.  Our day started with a humbling, praise filled church service with the local Haitians. Wow, what a way to start our first official clinic day!  After the service we were visited by 120 locals in our medical clinic.  We provided medical care, dental care, and a place to fill prescriptions for men, women, and children.  

Two of our medical bags were delayed and they are arriving tomorrow!  Thanks for your prayers.

I was very much looking forward to the cooking by our own Haitian cook and I was not disappointed.  Haitian food is sooogood!!!  We are definitely blessed with some wonderful cooking at our mission center home.

Enjoy the pics!  

Hello to my kids, Hayden and Gavin, and my husband, Trevor.  I know everything is going well back home.  Love you all and see you soon J

Tomorrow we’re off to another school and are planning on seeing and treating approximately 200 people.  We will be hiking through a creek and up a mountain, looking forward to the exercise!

Upon embarking on our journey to this foreign country, I was expecting delays and troubles.  I must say I am pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything is running thus far.  Our team has come from California, Florida and different parts of Ohio…amazingly we are all meshing very well, as though we’ve been brought together by an outside force.  Oh wait, we have!  Thanks to God for a safe and problem free travel thus far, please continue to be with us this week!
