Another day has gone by but not without impacting more people’s lives here in Haiti. It was a full and long day. The clinic saw over 50 people today, mostly kids. We performed a small “surgery” on a kids foot wth help from a local doctor. The baby from yesterday returned looking full of life. His temperature was down to 98 and he was eating the formula that we had given her yesterday.

There was great progress made on the wall today. We hired a local Hatian to help us with the construction of the wall and he was showing us how to mix cement and build a wall. We also cleared out the kitchen of rubble while we were waiting to work on the wall. The local Hatian was going to finish up the last bit of the wall after we left to head back to the compound for the night and that way we could begin to put the roof on tomorrow. We also have to teach our last VBS lesson for the week to the kids and say goodbye to them because on Sunday we are going to church right outside of the compound and Tony is going to take us on a tour of PaP.

We got the first day of rain here today and last night. This made for an interesting tap tap ride to and from the compound up and down the muddy, wet mountain side. We got a new tap tap driver yesterday and today he put speakers in the back so that we could listen to some upbeat Hatian music that added to the adventure of our rides through the busy city streets. It’s hard to believe that it is already Thursday, we all seem to have lost track of what day it is down here. The week has flown by and we will be home to be able to share our stories personally very soon. Thanks everyone for all of your comments we share them everynight after dinner and devotions, it’s great encouragement for us this week while we are down here.
