Once again, I’m sorry it’s taking me this long to post. Now that I am starting to get the swing of things, I’ll have more time to keep everyone updated.
The second week I was here Donald (Lifeline’s President) came down and introduced to me a more specific list of my roles here in Arcahaie, Haiti. Unexpectedly, I am the only permanent missionary here. So I am responsible for a lot more than I anticipated. For now, I keep accountability of the money used at the mission. I am a host for groups that come down; making sure they’re fed and get the full experience of Haiti. I help Robenson (our translator) with updates for our sponsored kids, which is about 3,000. And lastly, I am caring for a two year old boy named Jean Fritz. He is an orphan that was found in April. The previous missionaries were taking care of him. He was severely malnourished and was nearly starved to death. But now he is healthy, happy and quite a handful. He definitely keeps me on the move.
Right now, we have a team of nurses with us. We have been going to schools and orphanages providing medical care. We have mainly been providing the kids “worm” medicine and treating different skin infections and fungus. Tomorrow we will go to some tent cities. Tent cities are the people who’s houses were destroyed by the earthquake January 2010 and are still living in tattered and torn tents. We have a long day ahead of us, as we attempt to provide for the basic medical needs of these people.
Please pray for energy and strength as the team and I face each day. Also pray for wisdom and discernment as we tend to these people’s needs.
Thanks for updating, and wow, am I excited as to how God is using you, Adrian! Praying right now for discernment , strength, and great health. You will be such a bright light in such a dim place! Jesus will definitely carry you daily. Much love to you, honey!
