The Medical Team has arrived... a couple of days ago now already... and has been hard at work first around the Delmas 31 area registering patients, assessing patients, diagnosing them, prescribing them meds, packaging meds and distruting meds. They've had some big clinic days, the first two days being at Adoration School seeing about 200 patients as well as doing 10 minor surgeries. And yesterday they were out by Delmas 10 at Pastor Leny's church running a clinic where I think they saw close to 300 patients. We pray that the medical treatment that was received will be blest - that the patients will be healed from their sicknesses and relieved of some of the pain that they deal with day in and day out. 
I should introduce you to the wonderful doctor, nurses and paramedics that we have with us. Uncle Hank Scholtens, Samantha Jongsma, Deanna Oosterhoff, Andrea Hopman, Sarah Otten, Karen Gazeindam, Jackie Schakel, and Kim Hutten. They are a fantastic team who are doing an incredible job and we are having a lot of fun hosting them.
Today they were out a little ways seeing patients in Bon Repos. It was a clinic of 200 patients in a church associated with Pastor Leny. Although the church was a little furnace - tin roof - the team persevered through the heat and were even done earlier than usual. Only one more clinic day to go tomorrow in Croix des Bouquet tomorrow and then their clinical week here in Haiti is done. They've seen some tough stuff this week, some heartbreaking cases and some people who really have it tough. Our prayer as a team is that through the small amount of time they were with us in the clinic they felt loved and cared for and we pray that the medication may ease their pain and suffering.
