Day 6

Sorry it's me again. The team has gone to bed and nobody was left to blog. Promise when we return each team member will post their reflections from the trip. Until then.......more from me

Our last full day at St Louis du Sud began with a stop at the lab. We had taken Rose Marilyn in yesterday and they had done a few tests. It appears she is fine. We picked her and her momma up, along with Amanda and Fritzner (our translators), Dr Don, and Henry, our El Shaddia chaperon. Needless to say, the van was packed!

We spent the day loving our kids. More bubbles, jump roping and singing. Travis finished the storage shelves for the rooms; they look great! The mommas are very happy. With the extra lumber he also built shelves for the kitchen that the cooks had asked for. Jon built a shelf for the storage room to hold medical supplies. He and Dr Don gave every child a pill to treat worms and a vitamin.

We sent Henry to the market and he returned with two goats (male and female) and chairs. The kids loved the chairs; they will get lots of use. Hopefully the goats will reproduce and provide income and nourishment for the home.

In the afternoon we spent time washing little hands and feet. It is one of my favorite things to do with the kids. We finished the day there giving pictures our LCF children had colored for them, as well as photos from our last trip. They were so excited. Afterwards we drove to the ESMI guest house to see the view. It is beautiful.

Packed our bags as when we leave for church in the am, we will not return to Les Cayes. We will drive from st louis directly to PAP to spend the night before leaving Monday am for KC. We are excited to see you all, but will miss our family here. Hard to explain how attached you become so quickly.

Thank you again for your prayers. God has moved in mighty ways this week. Pray that we have a safe trip back to PAP tomorrow. We plan to stop briefly at Maries tomorrow to say thank you again for her hospitality last Monday night. Don't know what we would have done without her
