Haiti update #4

Libby was able to call again today and it was so good to hear her voice. The team had a break and she was able to borrow a friend’s international cell phone to touch base with us.


The trip so far sounds like one eye-opening experience after another. Yesterday (Monday), the team loaded medical supplies and shoeboxes onto small boats and went down the river where they unloaded and carried these items about a mile cross-country to another village. There they conducted a medical clinic and distributed the shoeboxes. The medical team was able to serve over fifty patients in the three hours.

Libby said that she is growing close with the other members of the team. They sleep on air mattresses in the orphanage and the food has been good. She said that the running water and electricity come and go, and that they’re happy/lucky to get a cold shower now and then.

All in all, it sounds like things are going well. Thanks for keeping the Haiti team in your prayers!
