Serving alongside

Rob returned home late last night (or early this morning however you want to look at it) from Haiti.  He had a a great trip with great people.  He was there for only four days which made leaving even harder. We just pray we will not have to come back home too many more times without him.

We have been very blessed to be able to tag along with the medical mission teams going to Haiti.  A medical team goes every three to four months to conduct medical clinics.  They care for the Bethesda Widows Home, the Cap Haitien Children's Home, usually one of the feeding programs, and many rural area churches.  I really love heading out into the rural areas around Cap Haitien and meeting all the wonderful people.  We get to see beautiful things, ugly things, amazing things, interesting things, gross things, sweet things, but most importantly we get to see God working through all of these things.  It is also a blessing to take Jimmy along with us.  Jimmy has translated, helped in the "pharmacy", escorted people to the doctors, and even held a flashlight while one of the nurses dug around a foot wound (it was yucky).  I just love watching him on these trips.  I get to learn who he is by watching him serve. 

Please pray for the Haiti Medical Missions.  These teams do wonderful work that affect many lives in profound ways.
