It's been a nice, busy day so far!
Yes, a lot has gone on since the last post on this blog and we're sorry you've not been a part of it! Hopefully that will change in the coming weeks as we try our best to keep this blog updated a little more vigilantly! :)
Well, some things to note before we begin: Steve and his family are currently on furlough in the States and won't be back until the 14th of August. In the mean time, Dan and Martha Mast have come down for a few weeks to be the mission "house parents".
Michael is also gone for a week, helping his dad with one of their pastors' training conferences. They'll be back in Aleg this Friday, so we're looking forward to having them back here! One of Michael's Haitian friends (Wilmon) is staying here while they're gone, assisting with translation and various tasks.
So, coming back to the current day's activities...
Today the temperature was (as almost is the case) in the 90's at the sun's apex and gradually went down to a comfortable 75-80 degrees. There were a few clouds in the skies and a slight breeze towards the middle of the day.
Clinic was fairly busy, the total amount of people totaling around 50. They were able to finish around 1:30pm though. Compared to a month ago (when there were up to 105 people coming in one day) it wasn't too bad :) Check out the clinic blog to see the interesting happenings there...
The usual washing, cleaning and cooking went on in the houses, with the ladies providing great meals. Breakfast was a casserole with eggs, ham, green peppers and some cheese. It was delicious :) Lunch was the usual beans and rice, with red sauce.
Grandpa Harold came by this morning, bringing his truck with him. He had some of the young men power wash it and put some wax on, shining it up real nice. Hopefully the next trip down the trail won't dirty it up too much!
Many of us are still a bit worn out from our travels on the weekend. We all went to CAM in Port au Prince for the monthly missionary Bible study... different missions participate and host it each month and it's a real blessing to get together with other missionaries and have a refreshing time of fellowship!
Well, we'll close here for the evening. It's almost supper time!
God bless!
