What a great trip we had going to Degeance today to do physicals
on the children there! We got to the new
property for the future MP Degeance School, and were so excited to see so many
school children (on a Saturday) there to meet us and help us carry all of our
gear up the mountain. Upon arriving, the
children were singing, just as if it was a normal school day. Many parents were
there with the children, which was so helpful in getting histories, especially
for the younger children. We saw more children today than we have at any other
school this week. It was exciting to see Kenson who had been burned last Feb.
He looked so healthy and has had an amazing recovery. Likewise, it was a joy to
see Angelina, who had the abscessed tooth last Feb. She, too, looks great and healthy.
This being our 5th day together, we were like a
well-oiled machine. Our translators pretty much stayed with the same team
members they had been with all week. We could not function without them, and it
has been fun to share and get to know them even better throughout the
week. Upon arriving back to the Mission
Center we took a “team picture”, as next week there will be some new members added
to our team.
We had a sweet time of worship and devotions tonight after
supper. Pastor Herve shared with us and Belinda gave us each a special verse.
Each of us shared who we had been praying for this week and new MP t-shirts
were presented to each team member. It
is sad to say “good-bye” tomorrow to Belinda, Rebekah, Steve, and Claudia. We
will cherish the memories we have experienced together this week. We pray for
safe travels home for them as well as for the new team members that will be
arriving Monday.
Thank you for all of your prayers. We are feeling them here
and appreciate them so much.
