Be Willing





















Our first clinic day went very smooth without any problems. Deb and the new translator Alberte spent some time checking in patients and showing Alberte the set up of a normal clinic. Joan was gloved and ready to dip any urine that crossed her path. Kelly worked in the pharmacy and was the official photographer for all of the days events. The school children were busy all day practicing their songs for graduation day and the women were busy making beads for their necklaces.
We traveled to Apparent Project. The road was simply crazy with huge trenches, rocks and garbage everywhere. At Apparent Project we were able to meet some of the workers and shop in their store. Of course we were in heaven shopping and buying some of these treasured goods that they make to help support their families. Kelly bought a beautiful purse. Deb and Joan purchased baskets and bracelets. You can buy your own at www.apparentproject.org!
We were then off to Three Angels orphanage. All the children were taking their afternoon nap. We surprised them with stuffed bears that were donated from Alex Bloomquist in Midland. Deb received the short end of the straw and had to give all the children a TB test. There were smiles at the end when they received a sucker to eat. One even said "Thank you mama after his poke."
It was a relaxing evening on the roof with our cokes and the wonderful breeze. Once again our dinner was wonderful with our traditional Haitian meal. We planned out our day for tomorrow. Joan is leading classes for the students with chromatography which should be interesting for everyone. Deb & Kelly planed out their painting for a Haiti Map in the patio on the wall.
Another beautiful day in Haiti.

BE WILLING:
Psalm 95:7-8 If you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.

Bon Wit,
Kelly, Joan & Deb
