Time flies!

Hello everyone!

Unbelievably, today is our last clinic day. We should be seeing the congregation from Sarte (pronounced 'sot'). This area is one of the poorest in Port au Prince and they, like the other congregations, will travel here to our site in Santos. Take a look at the picture of the family coming through the gate and you can see how challenging bringing people in can be.  A couple of the crowd control guys reflected how much they're reminded of the persistent widow in the Bible. To me, I think of "knock and the door will be opened to you."
Today, Wednesday, will be our last day for clinic. Thursday is scheduled to be our travel day.  Always I have mixed feelings about leaving. I look forward to seeing my family, but it is hard to leave the 'family' I have here.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to share my experiences here with you.
Because of Christ,
Jeanne 

Good Morning!

We are just now letting the first 50 people in the gate. They first go to a waiting area where Dr. Richard from Ohio teaches about Christ.  Then they are registered to see the doctor and nurses, optometrist, then wrap up at the pharmacy. Our team is working very well together, looking after each other. We all feel blessed to be here! I'll try to send pictures of our interpreters; without whom we could not do what we do. They work very hard and long.
Saturday we saw about 500 paients and gave away a lot of 'mother/baby bags' containing cloth diapers with pins, washcloths, blanket, a couple of outfits and some baby wash/shampoos. These bags were collected by Linda Goldman, and Mary Bryson's Church's Senior Saints' Ladies collected the items to fill the bags. This is what I really enjoy about mission trips. Different people from different places working together to bless others. God is glorified! Please continue to keep these sweet people in prayer.
Have a blessed day!
