Up at 6:30. Eggs and toast for breakfast under Tiki hut on back porch. All meals under Tiki on back porch. There is usually a nice breeze. Gary picked us up for morning devotional at RMI headquarters. There is usually 10 to 20 people there. Afterwards they decide what they are doing that day. The devotional was on Ephesians 3:14-20. I won't write it out again but read it, it is a good word. One of the pastors there said that even though Haitians only have half arms now, they still raise them to the Lord.PTL again and again. I sence a deep passionate faith in these men.
We get to the hospital and get our baskets. Dr.Shelby and Bobby come by to say Bye. They have been here 3 weeks. Dr Luke from Montana and Dr. William, a Haitian Doctor make rounds. Mary follows us around and is a great help. She even does a few bandages. One goes in for more surgery, one is going home, lots more bandages and now even a few band-aids.
Doouglas is his name. He is 8, but looks 4. He is very skinny, with a beautiful smile. He is very brave. He had a skull fracture that took 8 stitches, he has nerve damage in his left leg and his right arm, he has multiple wounds(at least 12) that 6 need bandages twice a day. We call him the mosquito cause he follows us everywhere. He was under the ruble of his house for 2 days before they could get him out. His sister's name is Medina. He has only an undershirt. Mary gets him some clothes. He needs a pair of tennis shoes to wear his brace for his drop foot. He says he knows Jesus and I pray with him for his family.Pray for Doouglas and his family.
Home for lunch. Burgers and fries and Cokes at Gary and Marylyn's. Amy drives up on her 4 wheeler and we go to the German mission to look at some sewing stuff. Young girls are taught to sew there. It is a beautiful quite place.
Back to the hospital. We meet a new group. Two new nurses and two new resident doctors. They make rounds and meet all the patients and families. Several babies have come into the hospital. Probably dehydration.
Gary picks us up at about 7:00. Susie and I are at the end of ourselves. Now is when my son says God can take over and accomplish His will for our lives. So much of this trip is all God. I am glad because I pray for more than human results to the one who can do immeasureably more than we can even imagine!
Thanks again for all your prayers. Please continue. Lift us up above ourselves.
