Update

Trying to copy Mallery's update for you here, but for some reason I cannot. We had a wonderful morning of respite at a resort near the property on Saturday. We took the 2 little girls with us. It was a treat to see Pierrelene especially enjoy the water. It was actually refreshing to a point. I had anticipated more like bath water. The beach and views were fabulous! Also enjoyed a nice hamburger and french fry lunch. It was yummy. We did another distribution on the way back home at the school. Served 50 families. They were so grateful!
It started to rain a bit and when we got back home it was torrential. The guy's tent really suffered and of course my bed nearest one of the openings was the worst of ours. I had to change all the sheets and we literally sopped up water from the air mattress. Cooled things off a little bit, but slept horrible and woke feeling not quite right.
We went to church on Sunday morning at Port au Prince Fellowship. It was all in English and had a lively worship piece. The pastor and his wife Beth McHoul run Heartline Ministries. Before the earthquake they worked mostly with orphans and ran a women's program that involved prenatal and birthing care. Their orphans all were adopted and they finished up more of a hospital program they ran since the earthquake. STill doing birthing though. Great work. RAn into a gal that I met from Utah last summer at the service who stayed at the guest house with us in June. Small world even in Haiti!
I continued to suffer most of the day with nausea. So layed down and enjoyed my fan plugged in as the generator ran a couple hours in the afternoon so the boys both American and Haitian could enjoy the soccer game. Thank goodness Brazil won or we would not be able to travel outside of our walls. We curtailed some of our earthquake touring as the streets were full of eager fans celebrating the win. It was like the Super Bowl in the streets here and not safe for us. Went to Epidor for a meal and it was not crowded. Brought back some wonderful bread and pastry for breakfast.
Today we went out to the school to run a health clinic. The two nurses that came in on Saturday did a wonderful job seeing almost 100 patients. Lots of scabies, upper respiratory issues, and blood pressure problems. I did a small teaching on handwashing and handed out some Feed My Starving Children food packets. Thanks to many in the Holland area that put these together this past winter. They are much appreciated.
Gang went to do some last minute shopping for coffee at the market. Four go home tomorrow and we pick two more up with 4 more coming on Wednesday. Mallery just passed off some wonderful java chip Starbucks my way. Elixir!!!!
Well all for now. Will do more school kid clinic tomorrow with lots of vitals updates. Thanks for all your prayers.
Love, Kim
