I wanted to get a real quick update on here before I leave for the airport. Our team leaves today and it's a sad thing. They have done SOOOOOO much work and accomplished so much for us. We just can't express how amazed we are with what these 4 people have done. The first photo is of them standing with most of the buckets they filled. They almost reached the 100 mark. You have to realize that they didn't just fill the buckets. They bagged rice, beans, cornmeal, sanitary napkins, they bottled oil, folded socks bagged laundry soap and a whole lot more. After doing all of that, they started putting things in buckets. And we have a lot of things ready to put into buckets when we get more. You are looking at MANY, MANY weeks of work that Don and I would have had to do. They saved us so much valuable time. Now we can start delivering, instead of working on doing this work. After getting these buckets and a lot of boxes of beans, rice and napkins ready, they had to move them into the containers, so they are out of the way for our next teams. The second photo is them loading the truck to take it all over to the container. They handled these heavy buckets many times after all the work of getting them filled. Tomorrow and Saturday will be spent getting a lot of these delivered. What a blessing this team has been to us.
On another note.... please keep our son and daughter in law in prayer. After thinking things were moving with the adoption papers...they have stagnated again. It's such a hard, frustrating time for them. They want their son home SOON. We are praising God for holding off more rain, so the team was able to deliver some food and a few buckets. We have had nice weather while the team was here, except for one evening which kept them for travels. But they filled in by working here.
MFI continues to bring in much needed supplies. They have gone way beyond their limits in getting help to Haiti. The rest of the world forgets us, but MFI is still there, "Standing in the Gap". Praise God for them. Please keep them in prayer.
Off to the airport... have a super great day and think on the many things God has done for you. Keep Him in all you do today.
