Day Two = Perfect
All went well on day two. We handed out 90 tickets in the morning. As some of you know with that ticket some may have 3 people to be seen. So we really never get an actual total. We had our last day of peanut butter and jelly flat bread sandwiches for lunch this week. We had a day of interesting patients, interesting smells and many new experiences for all. Our med students are receiving an education of a life time, whether they know it or not. The non medical team members are receiving an education too, whether they like it or not. Quote of the day is : Does it smell like fish?
This week we heard an amazing God story about a young women having an C/S when the earthquake hit. The surgical crew took the baby and ran out of the OR room. The young women fell off the table durning the earthquake and layed on the floor for 4 days. Somehow she got out of the building and found her baby. Then someone on the street sewed up her incision. Yes, she and the baby are still alive. Mom will be followed up at the Heartline Womens Clinic.
We continue to be amazed how the team blends together and how the flow runs so smoothly. It is very nice to have so much help from the Three Angel's staff all the way down to the clean up. It is great to share so much time with Jack and Marsha on the medical side of Three Angels. Another clinic day well done.
We enjoyed our Haitian meal for dinner. Then to broadened our experience we all jumped into the swimming pool! Yes it is 90 degrees and we jumped into the pool. The water is missing. It was full of leaves, mud, rock, frogs and tadpoles. When the earthquake hit the wall behind the pool was damaged. This amazing team cleaned the fishy smelling pool. I am sorry to say we will not be able to enjoy the pool because it will need painted and filled.
Devotions were lead by Lisa. She spoke about how everyone has had to step out of the boat to come on this trip. Sometimes you need to Do It Afraid if you know God is calling you.
Tomorrow we will have clinic in the morning and then head into the mountains......for diet coke. We are headed to the Baptist Mission area so the team can view the countryside. They will get a taste of bargining with the vendors and eating ice cream. Bonnwit (Goodnight)

Awww...you all look like you are having an amazing time. God bless you all and thank you for taking care of my Mom! I have been lifting up prayers for all your accomplishments and health daily. Now that I know that you can get diet coke on mission trips, I am signing up (ha!) Please give my Mom two for her amazing yoga session. Her grandkids were cracking up. They kept saying that the boy in the blue soccer shirt must have been saying, "now where did they find her!!" Love you Mom. Have fun and be safe.
