MP team
Mon. Feb. 9, 2015
What a glorious start of our week! A team went to Chardene to
provide physicals to the girls of the school. Just under 200 hundred
girls were given eye screenings, physical check ups, ear washing-as needed, and
the same with medications. We are so excited that Jennifer is with us and
setting up a data base for all the medical stats. Lynn, Jean, Cindy,
Heather Whitney, Carly, Pam, Sandy, and Jen, along with the five Haitian
interpreters, were grateful for how smoothly the process was.
The ladies from Lanzac for sewing class are back. Thirty
four in attendance, some from last year have returned and brought friends.
Laine, Elaine, and Linda from our team were delighted to witness the
ladies as they helped each other on their quilt projects and enjoy their time
together.
History was made yesterday as some of the Haitian leaders of the
Mission Possible schools as well as pastors joined forces with the men of our
construction crew to begin the building of desks. After a wonderful
time of song and prayer the men from our team began instructing the leaders in
the use of power tools such has a drill press, chop saw, and grinders. Mahlon
took the opportunity to show what not to do when working with power tools at
his own expense. He is fine and has now provided us with a story to tell
about this year's trip. While Wyn, and Mahlon focused on the classroom
cabinets Steve, Jacob, Jon, Mark, Jeff H., and Jeff L. successfully
communicated the desk making process despite not being able to speak Creole.
God blessed them with a enriching first day together.
Please pray for our team members traveling from Canada that are to
join us on Tuesday, safety for our construction crew (put and extra one in for
Mahlon), and for God to continue to bless the growing relationships.
