WOW! What a successful day. There were over 100 patients while turning no one away. Our morning starting with a great session of prayer and singing by the nannies and ALL of the patients.
We starting with four stations for patients to be evaluated at. Two were inside and two were outside under a tarp. Two Haitian nurses checked in the patients, took vitals and weights. Then they came back towards the clinic to be seen. There is a section of the orphanage building that we are trying to avoid because of damage from the earthquake. Jack & Josephine were at one station with Fransois as their translator. Gail evaluated patients while George was her translator at the second outside station. Their speciality was many many babies. Inside Cynthia and Zac were at one station specializing in many below the waist issues. Nancy and Lisa were at the second station dealing with many different problems such as acid, chest pain, scabies and hunger. Sally was in her beautiful pharmacy counting, packaging and compounding medications. Joan and Linda were the runners gathering meds, handing out goody bags, obtaining "pee pee", holding babies, poking fingers, giving respiratory treatments. Every thing went very smoothly and I am simply blessed to have such a wonderful team. They have all just fell into place and work so well together.
Our dinner was fabulous. Chicken, gravy, beans & rice, fried okra, beans & choc cake. Thank you goes out to Joyce and Jade our prayer warriors. We are thinking of you. We wish you could both be here,
Cynthia gave our devotion tonight on how our strengths cover each other weaknesses. She gave us all positive input on how we covered each other through out the clinic day.
Zac spent the day brown noising after calling us old and now he states we are mature.
Goodbyes were said to Johane and Johanna after spending 2 days with us. Their mom brought Cynthia and I two beautiful bags of fruit and we will have the guest house cut it up for breakfast.
Tomorrow will be alot like today and we will be blessed with many more Haitian smiles.

So, so glad all is going well! Thank you for such great posts, Deb. I can picture the Haitian smiles and hear the nannies singing through your descriptive writing.

We continue to pray for all of you throughout your journey. Thank you for your willingness to walk with the Lord this week in Haiti. Thank you for serving God and His people at Three Angels.

Blessings,
Colleen
