Wednesday's update from Haiti

The week here is moving very fast. Kari continues to take charge in the clinic. They have been very busy seeing patients. Fortunately Kari was able to go along with us on our afternoon trip. More on that shortly.



The work on cafeteria is progressing however we ran out of paint. Not to worry a fresh supply arrived this evening which will allow us to continue our painting project tomorrow. The work crew also worked on building a sidewalk which was very hot and hard work. Hopefuly we can begin pouring the concrete tomorrow.



Back to our afternoon trip. After a well deserved break for lunch we headed off to Caberet to visit the Good Samaritan Orphanage. This was a bit of an adventure as we had to wade a river to get there. Praise God nobody fell in although a pig on the nearby bank almost did.



Once we reached the orphanage we were able to love on the kids and play with them. They lived in very rough conditions. The place they lived in was covered by a large tarp to help keep the rain out.



While we were there the team performed a play about the flood and how Noah built the ark as God had told him to. Before we started the play there was a very heavy downpour which was really neat to have this occur right before the play. The kids then sang a song for us which was very moving. James shared a bible verse with them and had them repeat it back to him. Through our interpreter I believe they really understood God's greatest commandment.



We handed out bibles to all the kids. It is awesome to see these kids receive the living word of God. We pray they will read them and be transformed into His likeness.



All for now and God bless all of you.
