The second part of our week 1 group made it safe & sound tonight! We are glad they are here, and they're glad they can finally go to bed! They were met in Haiti with a downpour! Thankfully they were picked up in the van and not the open truck, but the bags on top got a little wet. On the bright side, we now have the opportunity to organize the hygeine kits because they got a little wet.
The Community Agents came today from 1-5 PM. It was great to see them again! They are excited about their graduation coming up at the end of November. Beginning on Monday, they will be participating in the physicals at each school. They practiced skills today that they will be using at the physicals. Our team volunteered their fingers to allow the Community Agents to practice taking blood to check hemoglobin levels- Nick and Heather both volunteered 5 fingers! Even Rene volunteered one!
Heather practiced her critter-killing skills: one cockroach and one mouse for the books. We'll update you on any further progress.
Some of our team members organized the pantry so that our wonderful cook Maude would know what food was available to use. She was so happy, she gave them a kiss on the cheek and squealed!
We have all been practicing our Creole. Deb and Rene have been a huge help with our communication. Today we were able to have a full conversation with Maude and Madame LaFett about our meals for the week without using a Haitian translator.
We thank God for the opportunities we have already had and those that will come, and as always we appreciate your prayers.
