Haiti Trip - Day 3

Haiti Trip – Day 3 (October 6)

Highlights of the day...

1. We began treating people today – the doctors worked together to care for the people, the ladies helped out in various ways with Lovely the nurse. I spent the morning handing out candy, taking pictures, and helping at the pharmacy.

2. We went to the school next door around 10:30 to visit the kids at school. We were able to see all 700 + fed and were asked to hand out vitamins to all of them. We were allowed to talk with them – many are learning English and Spanish, so that was a lot of fun to be able to interact with them.

3. We took a tour of Gran Bassin today and went to the Catholic church/school/clinic. It was pretty impressive, but I am glad for the ministry of AMG and Rodne Romeus to give the people here the truth of the Gospel.

4. I was able to play “soccer” with some of the area kids – it was with a tennis ball, but it was soccer nonetheless. We had fun – they were surprised that I could even play.

5. Michelle gave her shoes to Donaldson – a kid we met today – I am thrilled about the way she is catching a vision for helping the people of Haiti.

6. Conversation with a medical team is much different than a usual team. Medical discussions throughout the day – very interesting. However, eventually, they talk about things like “White Persians” that I am not as interested to hear about. :-)

It's been a great day – tomorrow we are supposed to do the same thing, and then go to church again. Hopefully we will be able to address the people during the service. We will see what God allows.
