The rest of the week 2 team arrived around 11 AM today -
Jean, Travis, Wendy, Lynn, Kent, Dan and Rachel. After unpacking and eating lunch,
they joined the construction, sewing, and OB medical teams.
Sewing – the ladies at Chardene came with their quilts and
continued working on them. Liane gave a lesson on grace to the sewing ladies. Even
though there wasn’t any school, the place was buzzing with kids. A highlight of
the sewing was that Madison and Wendy pitched in to help a pregnant lady nearly
finish her quilt, as she wanted it done before her baby comes.
Today there was Boot Camp, a youth-oriented program alternative
to the Carnival. 200 + kids from Mission Possible churches met at MPCA and are participating
in a 3-day event that involve scripture reading, worship, prayer, and
recreation. Their day began at 4 AM and is concluding late tonight with
Christian movies. A highlight today was swimming in the ocean at the Mission Center.
Travis really enjoyed watching all of the kids having fun.
The Construction team worked on welding shelves on which to
store tools and supplies at the Mission Center. This afternoon they went to
Dupin and worked on the perimeter of the playground fence. This project is
nearly done, with just a few more tweaks on the gate and swings.
The medical team started OB training with 25 pregnant mamas.
They learned about a normal delivery, newborn care, cycle beads, and diseases.
Deb, Sabine, Shari, Pam, Emily, and Ellie taught the classes. Rachel joined us
in the afternoon.
It was a great day. We will tell you more tomorrow night. God is good!
