Sorry for not updating yesterday. We had a long day and never had access to the internet in the evening.
Missed Day
We all went to work at the clinic yesterday. The men worked on building a roof and made concrete. The women and us girls, worked in the supply room. We went through, organized, and labelled a lot of stuff. We were not alone in that room...we had plenty of cockroaches to keep us company and keep us on our toes lol. Around noon, we took a break and ate a delicious lunch. Then, we headed back out to the clinic to resume our places. After a long day, we ate dinner, played with the local children, took a Criole lesson, and decided to try out the face paint on each other. Jenn, Jordie, Cassie, my Mom, and I, all painted silly faces and some small pictures on each other. At this point, everything was funny...so we decided to head to bed lol.
Today
When we woke up, we ate a delicious breakfast and headed out to the clinic. Today was the day they vaccinated babies at the clinic, so Jordie and I got to hold lots of beautiful dark babies while their mother's waited in line. Jordie also gave the babies some Vitamin A. We also worked on the supply room and the men continued their work on the roof.
After lunch, we all headed back to work. Cassie and I played with the kids for a bit. When everyone made it back from the clinic, we decided to take a hike up the mountain/hill behind the guest house. Very steep!! We were accompanied by a billion children who were more than happy to pull us up the hill; sometimes it wasnt much help. Haiti is a beautiful country. We all had a wonderful day and are about to head to bed. =)
We are so relieved to hear that you all arrived safely and are able to bless the community with your presence. Praying for you all everyday! Norm & Pauline, Vancouver Island (friends of the Bargs)
