MP team: Mon. Feb. 9, 2015
What a glorious start of our week! A
team went to Chardon 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 medication. We are so
excited that Jen is with us and setting up a data base for all the medical
stats. Lynn, Jean, Cindy, Heather Whitney, Carly, Pam, Sandi, and Jen
along with the 5 Haitian interpreters were grateful for how smoothly the
process ran.
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 working relationships.
