Day 5

What a great day in Haiti! It was the first day without rain at the orphanage and it was a blessing.

We began by digging a trench to channel water away from the dorm entrances. The kids were a huge help as they gathered rocks to line the trench. Hopefully this will eliminate some of the mud and standing water around the well. They really enjoyed helping and made the job go so much quicker. After that, Travis went back to work on the storage shelves for the dorms. Kids sat and watched him work for hours. Natou, the orphanage's do it all guy helped Travis, moved benches, led singing and had a devotion for the kids before we arrived. Pray for him; he is such a joy and the kids really respond to him.

On our way this morning, we stopped at the home of a young woman dying of cancer. John was able to see her, but unless God miraculously heals her, she does not have much longer to live. Jon is going to the clinic early in the morning to get an iv bag and some meds to keep her comfortable. At the orphanage, Jon continues to have an opportunity to treat our children. We are so thankful, no major health problems.

Tomorrow will be a big day. We hope to finish the storage shelves, brought gifts to give the mommas and found creole bibles today to give them as well (one for Natou too), hope to buy 2 goats and some chairs tomorrow as well. The kids don't really have anywhere to sit.

Thank you so much for your prayers. We can feel them. It is so apparent that God is orchestrating our every step, and that is so comforting.
