The work crew was at it again. With a fresh batch of paint we were eager to get to our assignment at the cafeteria. With rolers and brushes in hand off they went. The sidewalk team made much progress in completing the sidewalk. By lunch we had completed what we hoped we could do and even a little more.
After lunch we headed off to L'Orange to visit Pastor Ande's church in the village. He has a church there and at the church we did our version of Noah's ark. The kids loved it and were able to here how God showed His love for Noah. We played games and James able shared God's greatest commandment with the kids.
The kids were great and as always the smiles in their faces were the best part of the day.
As you can hopefully see from the picture we visited a beautiful water fall in the mountains beyond L'orange. It was remarkable to see the contrast of the lush mountains vs our home base. This was truly a beautiful part of Haiti.
Just as we turned in the Mission of Hope to end our day we learned that there had just been a major accident and that about 14 people were injured and were arriving at the clinic at the same time we did. Our medical team along with many non-medical team members sprang into action. There were broken bones severed limbs and head injuries. The clinic was treating them and preparing the most serious ones to transfer to other hospitals in Haiti. This posed several problems as some of the hospitals were full and some did not have doctors even at the at hospital. And to top that off the hospitals were an hours drive away.
Keri was really in her element and provided great medical care. The rest of the team helped however we could from moving stretchers to praying for and with the patients.
We pray that these people will be alright. We did learn that 4 people died at the scene.
Thank God for the Mission of Hope and how they we're here when these people needed them.
All for now God bless.
