A little of this and a little of that

Last week Thursday we were privileged to host a medical team that Dr. Ed was working with from New Hampshire. They came in and were able to see 200 medical patients as well as 25 dental patients. We pray that the patients that received the medical care may be relieved of their pain and healed of their ailments. Thank you team from New Hampshire for visiting us in our new location and being such a blessing to the community!The facilites worked AMAZING for hosting the clinic. Dr. Ed loves his new home and it was great to have so much room for people to sit in shade around the property and wait for the doctors. And Adoration continues to keep on going. The majority of the students have shown up for school and they are LOVING being back in school and we are loving seeing them as well as their teachers daily. We have a wonderful staff whom we love dearly and are so thankful for all that they do for the school and the organization.
And... work on the property continues. The list never really seems to get shorter even though a lot of things are finished already. Right now the big project going on is getting the toilets ready. Randy and his team of hard workers hope to have it ready for Monday so we can say bye-bye to the blue rockets. The bathrooms is the same pre-fab structure as the clinic (we got a good deal!) and we'll be building bathroom cubicles inside.
And the land is slowly getting leveled. Here the bottom layer is looking sharp with it's new layer of gravel. We are working on getting the top layer leveled so that we can put the big tent up for the church to use as well as a waiting area for the medical clinic.
As well the container, packaged in Canada and sent a while ago already, arrived in Haiti. We have collected a lot of the donations that were given to Adoration and are busy distributing them to different students and their families who are in need.
And to end it off, what's a blogpost without a Maia fix?

Glad to see the site coming together. Looking forward to seeing photos of the kids playing soccer on it. Also happy to see that you finally got the container, hopefully with everything inside intact.
God bless you all,
Howard and Teresa

Hi Karen and Randy,
Just want you to know that you continue to be in our prayers. Our oldest girl Abigail prays nearly every day "that the people in Haiti would get new homes". May God continue to give you strength as you work for Him there.
Reuben and Rebecca,
Abigail, Kyra, Sasha, and Tori
