The last 2 days we have seen God's goodness immensely. One of the things we left out is that the first night we had a few things stolen off of the roof. The good news is that almost all of our things were returned... which never happens in Haiti. Another surprise is that our friend Ryan showed up, who is a huge asset to our team. We were all extremely overjoyed!
The first 2 days of the clinic have gone really well. Tori was able to give a little boy named Joey his wheelchair. He and his mother have waited 10 months to get this wheelchair. With the help of Elliot and Kevin, Tori was able to adjust the wheelchair to fit him. We have had several patients accept Christ. The former voodoo doctor from last trip came back to visit us and has told us that he is still walking with the Lord. On Monday we went to the disabled community and delivered and fitted four wheelchairs to their exuberant owners.
The "husbands," also known as Kevin and Elliot have been our rocks this trip. They have been super helpful and keep the clinic moving smoothly. A few notes we should share is that Elliot is experience "tap tap butt." I don't think anyone actually knows what that means.
Most nights we have had electricity which means there are some team members that are soaking up the air conditioning. The rest of us are sleeping on the porch which has been wonderful because it gets cool at night.
Each day we have seen God's provision in the connections being made. We are continuing to build relationships with translators, community members, and the church family. Tonight we were able to have an uplifting night of worship and prayer with the team from California that is also here. The main thing we will be continuing to do this week is being intentional in sharing the gospel with every single patient that walks in the door.
Please continue to be in prayer for us as we finish out the week. God has been so good to us this week and we can see His hand working in every situation that has happened.
