1. Thank you for all of your comments, I'm sorry that we can't give you more content, its just the reality of keeping contact from Haiti - time is short, and electricity is down at 10:30 at night. Also, they have very limited bandwidth, so they ask that the teams do not post any of their own pictures - the mission is responsible for that. So please be patient on pics, we have no control over that.
2. I'm trying to get messages out to people that are left in the comments, but sometimes it just may not happen.
3. Pray for the medical kids today, they're definitely in the thick of things. Curtis told us at lunch that its been tough - treating kids so malnourished that they will likely not live in never fun.
4. It is truly amazing to see how the kids are getting right in with the people. This morning I watched youth singing at the old folks home with the elderly (who are the sweetest people you've ever met!), cleaning the wounds of the people, sitting at bedsides in the birthing centre, feeding bottles to the babies in the orphanage, stacking bricks into a truck while surrounded by commentating Haitians (always a peanut gallery), working in the nutrition program (we're doing 'meals on heals' later today), working with mentally disabled kids in the Miriam Centre, and many other small stories that are being journaled in the evenings.
Anyway, gotta run, much love from Haiti!
Doug, thanks for the snapshot of the day. Delighted to hear how involved the group is. My eyes well up in tears regarding #3. My love to Curtis and Adam and prayers for you all.

Doug, I've never checked the internet as often as I have been these last few days. It really helps to hear what's going on with the team. Thanks for taking the time. Me and the kids are praying for you all (especially for Dick & Colton). Tell them that all is going well and we love them! Carol (p.s. is it really hot out there?)
ReplyDeleteThank you Doug so much for the update. Its nice to know what exactly to pray for. We can't wait to see some pictures. Is Roxanne doing well with her arthritis? Tell her we love her and can't wait to hear all of her stories and please tell her that we are all well and are praying for her and the team. Thanks Herta
