We are holding a clinic near a creek/sewer/landfill/hog and goat feeding area. The tent city is a large one of 1500 souls located in front of us. Todd, our physician, is assessing a patient. The Haitians waited very patiently to be seen and, as others have said, are very thankful for the care.
We also held clinic in a small camp not far from us. These are some of the patients waiting in line. Very friendly even with the language barrier. Kids love to high 5!
I was pharmacist this morning. We stopped by the orphanage close by and then walked to this small tent city. The adults found us a door to use as a table and found a light tarp to cover it. They also found chairs in the diffferent tents for the staff to use while treating patients. So hospitable. The 2 girls are 13 and have latched onto Dave, our wound care medic. They have become very adept wound techs! They wanted to help me package ibuprofen and other meds for the patients. They loved counting the pills out loud in English. They want to be doctors and are learning English. They are so motivated to learn!
Kris and I on our way through the neighborhood to set up the clinic. Even though we look rather out of place, if we say "bon jour" we always get a smile and response. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support. Every person we feed or treat is because of you and those prayers.
So precious, thanks for sharing, it means so much to follow daily what God is doing thru you.

Thank you for the many pictures and posts. You are not only His hands and feet but also our eyes and ears. The sacrifice of giving so selflessly of yourselves has been an awesome example to the rest of the watching world. You impact each and everyone of our lives. You've shown us we can turn our "I can't" into "I can". I have just been given word that I have been accepted for my first missions trip. Thank you for the wonderful influence you have been in not only in the Hatian peoples lives, but in all of our lives. You now have multiplied His hands and feet.

How blessed we are to be able to share in pictures and blogs what you are doing daily! It keeps the reality of what we are praying for right before us. God bless you! (Love that hat Ingrid!!) They must truly be a people of incredible spirit -- it sounds as if God's love pours out of them to you as well as out of you to them! That seems to be a daily nourishment to keep you going! Thanks for taking time to do the blog! Love to each of you - Norma J.
