Today started out well with waking with the roosters (and boy are they early risers.) Brother Harley lead our morning devotional, then breakfast with those good ole eggs with peas, oatmeal, ham, watermelon. The fruit definitely puts a smile on our faces. After breakfast, we loaded the bus with all of the supplies, we’ve learned a system (for all of us newbies), we stand in a line and pass everything. I know, such a modern idea, huh, well it actually works really well. Once we got the bus loaded with supplies, we packed SO MANY people on that bus, that I was sure the tires would blow! They didn’t though, and we made it to the site of the first clinic. Today’s clinic site was a church whose building “broke” during the earthquake. So we had to use a school, which resulted in a “Snow Day” for the kids and it was only 100 degrees. This particular church lost many of their members, so they chopped up the pews to make coffins for their loved ones, but God has blessed them with new pews made by another organization. Most of us did not know what we were doing in the clinic, which made it very chaotic in the beginning, but we eventually all fell into a good routine and it worked! We were able to see approximately 445 people today! It was great, but the best part of the clinic was that approximately 15 people gave their life to Christ today!!!! What an awesome thing! The youngest about 10yrs old, her name was Lovely. She absolutely carved a spot in Debbie’s heart, she was the lucky one that got to lead her to Christ. It has put her on a “high” today! We did have a little problem with Satan’s attempt to disrupt the clinic, but our wonderful guards and our Mighty Savior always kept us TOTALLY safe. I need to just take a moment to say that we have a bus driver that can drive a yellow school bus like it’s a Honda Accord! He can fit that bus into the smallest spaces, I’ve never seen anything like it! It was a HOT day today, so we were all exhausted when we returned home from the clinic. Dinner was ready by our fabulous Marilyn, we had fish, mashed potatoes, lasagna, and salad. When we finished dinner and were getting ready for our second crusade, it started to rain. It was a blessed site! Even though we ran out of water IN the house, we had tons of it OUTSIDE of the house. The rain did eventually fade off, so we all loaded the bus to hit the crusade, but when we arrived, it was raining there, so we were not able to have the crusade tonight, bummer! At the crusade last night, I was so touched to see all of the Haitian people praising God with their tents off in the background. To come in contact with people who don’t have meals to eat or even a glimpse of a brighter future on this earth, it overwhelms me to witness their praises, their smiles, their filling of the Holy Spirit. Well that pretty much ends this day, please keep on praying for these people who desperately need it, and for our group as we need it also!
