We are in Haiti

We arrived in Haiti on March 16. The first few days were putting away things although a team had unboxed and put away all of the things that we shipped on the container. We were tired. We are beginning to adjust and get back our energy.
We started on Monday to work as Glen had alot of jobs waiting for him to get done.
I started in the burn clinic but since then have helped in several other clinics ran by North Carolina Rescue. They were so encouraging as they came over and prayed for us tonight. What a great group. They have teams coming each week. They do medical and building.
Then we had to say goodby to our good friends Kevin and Susan Bruns and their children. They left to move back to the States on April 1. We will miss them.
Before Susan left she taught me how to do the monthly reports but lucky for me they are on Quicken which is a program that I know so that helped.
Today Glen went in to PAP to pickup our car and get parts with David Heady. He is doing well with his knee replacement. He has been helping to haul sand and gravel to the new houses that are being built in Titiyan.
I helped a lady who had brought material to make new curtains and bed covers for 2 rooms in the vistor quarters. It was lots of fun except trying to keep the sewing machines running.
We are on our 3rd team since we arrived. They are fun and each one has its own personality. It has been great to see how the week goes for them. We have done some things with them like going up the mountain to see the childrens puppet program. It was great. We went to church in PAP last week and went out to eat at Dominos which is the only fast food place in Haiti.
So just know that time is flying and we are busy.
Please pray for energy for us and for God to renew our strength.

  1. Ah, my dear in-laws, it is so good to see you back in the blogging world! Thank you for the brief update. And thank you for the very specific prayer request, it is so much easier to pray for you when we have specific things to pray for. :) Love you bunches!
