It's amazing to us how the Haitian people are so appreciative of even the smallest kindness. They seem to really be thankful for our efforts and especially the one-on-one personal contact. Thank goodness we had Moses, Robinson and Lionel (our wonderful translators!) to help us understand their needs and ailments. We amused so many with our attempts at Creole!
After our morning clinic, we decided to take a break for lunch. How did we know we were in for the ride of our lives?! Between lunch hour traffic, airport congestion and aggressive Haiti-style driving (the bigger the vehicle and the louder horn have the right of way), we weren't sure we had an appetite when we arrived to eat!
The afternoon was another busy time of treating a variety of illnesses and ailments. We were gratified to see the smiles of appreciation and we hope we made a small difference in their lives today.

ReplyDeleteHi Gail, I'm SO sorry I deleted the info on the log--just got it from Greg. I talked to him for a few minutes today. This is amazing. I absolutely cannot wait to hear all about it!!!!!! I can see that a current of God's love is running between you, your team and these beautiful Haitian people. God bless you. Have a SAFE trip home-sounds like it will be a grueling day, but your lovin' husband will be waiting for you, so you can just fall into his arms and collapse! I love you so much! Talk to you SOON!!!

ReplyDeleteGreetings and prayers to you all, especially our friend Gail. How exciting to see the note from you and your co-worker, Noreen. I loved viewing the picture of the whole crew. Now I have faces with those names that I have been praying for. Saturday night I woke up at 2:40 a.m. thinking there must be a specific reason that you all came to my mind. So I got out my Bible and read along with praying for you all. You are doing GOOD reaching out to Others. Joyce Schlosser on Arbor St in Omaha
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today, your last day in Haiti. I know there must be many who have touched your BIG heart. No doubt it's been a Godly mission. May you you and the team have a safe trip home. God be with you till we meet again. I&B Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Noreen, we are missing you back here in Omaha but it sounds like you are making the most of your talents there with so much need. See you soon, I hope. Vicky and Mike.
ReplyDeleteIt's a joy to know someone with such a caring spirit.
