The BIGGEST . . .

We arose bright and early to get ready for our first trip to Dupin for the month. While we missed some of the familiar faces from MPCA, we were excited to head to a new environment. The drive up to Dupin was gorgeous, and Sergo, with his incredible driving skills, got us up the mountain without difficulty. We stayed on schedule and saw everyone we had planned to see and even a few extras. Thanks to our friends at Pierre Payan Hospital, we were able to refer several students to the hospital. The new environment took some getting used to, but eventually our clinic ran like a well oiled machine. Thanks to our Community Agents, we were able to get a hemoglobin on every student who came through the clinic, helping us to identify our anemic students and get them treated appropriately. We saw more sick kids at Dupin than we were used to seeing at MPCA and are so thankful that God provided the opportunity to evaluate and treat them. Sergo left to pick Jameson up from the airport and Jeff showed off his awesome driving skills by us down the mountain with ease.
Thankfully, we had no clinics or seminars this evening. We were able to relax, hang out, and enjoy each others' company for the rest of the evening. We thank God for providing us with the opportunity to rest after the last 3 days of clinics.
Nick and Jeff continued to work dilligently on the water pump that was broken and finally returned water to the showers. I know our team is excited to use the upstairs bathroom. Heather finally caught the big rat she has been keeping (Heather's Tally: 2 Mice, 1 Rat, 2 cockroaches). Pam smashed "the BIGGEST" cockroach in the middle of the night with Rene's shoe. Unfortunately, she cleaned up the evidence (with a huge ball of TP and wet wipes) before anyone could see how big it really was...
Jameson made it to the compound safely and is tucked into bed after a long day of travels.
Several team members took a walk down the beach and enjoyed the sound of the ocean. We continue to try to get Deb to look in someone's ear. We will get her to clean out someone's ears by the end of the month. Thank you for your continued prayers and support, we love you all! We are so thankful to have the opportunity to be God's hands and feet in Haiti this month.
