The Dental Team has arrived

Well, we are at it again.  We have a dental team here.  They came yesterday, went out to IDADEE and set up late yesterday afternoon, and today were at work.  I don't know how many they saw...that isn't important.  They (all 5 dentists and 2 hygienists, and other workers) worked hard all day long.  One of the dentists is a Haitian who lives here, and works with the team each year.  It was awesome to see the work being done.  People are SO grateful for the help.  God has been awesome in the way He uses His people to reach out.  There were Haitians who did the evangelism with those who came.  These same people will be the ones who do follow-up.  This whole week will be a huge success in enabling the Haitians to minister to the Haitians.  God is AWESOME, and we are so thankful for the people who hear His call and come in response.

 

 

The team also brought some blankets to distribute to small children.  They were sent by a group called  Wrap Them In Love.   What a blessing that is.  I was able to care for a small baby today, here at the house.  Ray and Bonnie Vanslyke have taken in a 3 1/2 month old baby (much younger than any of the kids in their orphanage).  Little Jauncie's mother died from cholera not long after he was born late last October.  (I do not know how to spell his name, so that is a guess).  He was so malnourished when Ray and Bonnie got him 2 1/2 weeks ago. He was so swollen up. His sister had been caring for him, but only had tea and coke to feed this infant.  The photo of him crying was not long after they got him.  You can see his little hands and arm are so swollen.  But the improvement has been a real God thing.  True, he is not up to his weight, but in only 2 1/2 weeks, he has improved SO drastically that it's awesome...(there's that word again).  You can see from the one photo how tiny he is...that is his hand in Don's.  (Guess I'll never give up the love of caring for an infant.  He was a real joy!!)

 I've been reading a chapter of a book to Abbie each night.  It's called, "Missionary Stories with the Millers" by Mildred A. Martin.  It is a fantastic book.  And really brings out what God has done and is doing through His people everywhere.  Abbie loves to hear the stories and loves to retell them to others.  

 Well, for now, I'd best close and get some other work done.  I just wanted to share a bit of what is happening here.  Just a quick glimpse into what God is doing.  God bless and keep you.  May you walk with Him and talk with Him, and let Him be your guide in all you do!!
