Haiti - Day 5

Yesterday, Doc Maria, SuAnne, Lori, and their team of volunteer Haitians, and a few American Mission Kids saw and treated exactly 92 people - not bad for the first day..

Today, about 1 hour before the clinic started, there were already dozens of people waiting in line... they will have a BIG day today... Keep praying for strength & stamina for the girls, and a lot of healing for thepeople they are seeing. Some very serious, and some rather minor, but all need your prayers!

This morning the men went back to the orphange to get a grip on finishing it, so kids can begin to move in. We got all the remaining doors framed out before lunch - a huge task considering, there is still no power over there, and the only battery operated saw we have ran out after only 7-8 cuts due to a bad charge last night - the 120volt service yesterday was only delivering about 90 volts - stuff burns out pretty fast here.

Thank fully a couple of Haitian guys were working along side us, and one went home to get a framing hand-saw. he was a Wild-man with that saw, cutting 2x6 faster that I could have with the 18v Riobi saw! Soon his 2 cousins showed up, we all worked together, and next thing you know, they are doing all the work themselves... AWESOME... sharing, teaching, equipping, empowering... and they were high fiving and joking with us in Creole, having a great sense of accomplishment for the work they completed.

Now we are waiting for an electric say to cut down 6 panel doors to fit the random size openings that the masons left for us.

The Good News, is that there is a little electric power in the middle of the afternoon, so I can blog to you during this slow time.

Last night during our devotion, we read Gen 12: 1-4... Abraham was told to go by God, and he received many blessing from God.... We feel as if WE are receiving many blessing from God as well, because He love us, and because of your faithful prayers. We are being kept safe, we are eating well, with no 'strange' effects, we are getting much good work accomplished, and we are making many new Creole Haitian friends.

Enjoy these 1 -2 more photos (they take a reallyy long time to upload with the spotty (low speed) WIFI. :)
