Less than 2 weeks till the next trip, and plenty to do!! If any of you have folks who could translate some documents into Kreyol, I'd greatly appreciate the help! These are documents for the folks that I'll be training.
Quite exciting news! Jen will be going down to Haiti on this trip!! This is wonderful on so many levels. She'll get to see the kids (Nakeysha, Anderson, Nelson) and visit Pestel (which will be her first time). She's been realizing the need to go down again to Haiti. We're going to surprise Anderson! He doesn't know yet. But I spoke to Sister Fidelis this morning, and she's very excited!
Anderson is sounding better. I talked with him this morning. He's looking forward to the upcoming trip.
I'm including two images which are telling. The images compare Haiti's earthquake toll with other recent natural disasters.
The Vitamin A arrived yesterday....heavy. About 65 pounds. And the anti-parasitic medication is going to be shipped directly into Port-Au-Prince by Fed Ex. These are both exciting answers to prayer.
There are many things to pray about--safety, our kids, logistics, our own hearts (and minds). I realize how important these trips really are...not because of the 'great work' being done but because of the great work God does in us and in them. There is a need to see these images again, as hard as some of them are to take in. There is a need to tell the stories to folks like yourself, to share the photos and the videos, to carry forward the message. There is a need for us to be affected by suffering, but also by joy.
Suffering and joy....they say "Not yet, but soon!"
