We are over one week in Haiti now. It seems like it went so fast.
We have had hot dry windy weather. No rain although it is supposed to be the rainy season. The wind has blown so bad at night we have thought that we are in Wyoming.
We helped to unload a 40 foot container that came from the states. It had a mixture of many supplies on it. We will now need to sort all those supplies.
It was fun to see the different things that were sent. Many needed supplies and things that we can share with other ministries that are down here.
Glen become dehydrated while unloading the container and needed to rest. He is still not feeling as good as he should. So pray that he will be back to feeling good soon.
We are staying in a 2 room apartment with a kitchen below.
One night this week 17 people arrived that we thought had already ate but they had not ate and so we fixed a spaghetti casserole and fed them quick. Just another pleasant surprise, They are going up to the north part of the island.
We have a team coming in to stay on April 20.
Sheryl and Chris and Josh will be back tomorrow so we are looking forward to see them. The Brums family will leave for 6 weeks the first part of April. The other groups here Samaritan Purse,Friendship and North Carolina Baptist are a constantly changing group. We eat lunch with Samaritan Purse group each day for our daily meal of beans and rice.
Glen goes down for Bible study each day with the Haitian men at 7:30 and I head for the clinic each morning at 07:30. We have been treating each morning from 2-3 hours and then we head out to help with moving supplies or the many other jobs that need done, Glen has been working on a well drilling machine,a generator, and numerous other vehicles
Sounds like fun! Thanks for the update! We love you and miss you! Remember that you are human and we all have to take short breaks. Our prayers are with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Glen and Linda, I am so glad you are writing to keep us up to date with what you are doing. I will continue to pray for your health and safety. HOpe there was a lot of spagetti in that container for your surprise guests. It has been beautiful here the past few days. Dave is getting the itch to plant something. My flowers are starting to peek up through the dead leaves. Eli found a job in Kimball and left last Thursday. We have had 1 guy work a couple of days but he's not really cut out for the job. Another young man is working today and shows more promise. We have had 3 men say they were coming and then not show up. Dave and his best friend helped Aunt Stella haul out carpet at Jane's house. Not a fun day for him. We got to keep Kierstyn Sat. night and all day Sunday. She is so funny. Well you take care. Love you. Dave and Beth
ReplyDeleteHi Linda and Glen, glad you are enjoying your beans and rice. I hope that Glen is feeling better. Take care and keep in touch with us. Love you both Pattie Jo
ReplyDeleteHey Linda and Glen I have really missed you both. I hope that Glen is doing better now. I know there is so much to do down there I am just glad that you are able to help. Lane's birthday was Thursday and we had a good time. Steven is going to graduate here pretty soon and they are getting to wear the gowns. He is so excited about going to 7th grade. Tanner's arm is healing well we go back to the doctor on Monday the 29th and take another x-ray. I took Steven to the foot doctor and he has a bone that is not connecting the way it should so now we are trying to deal with that. Dallas is working lots of hours. We are thanking God every day for that. Well we miss you and hope that you can impact lots of lives down there. Love Karla
