June 18th. Team & Prayer Request

Today we took most of the team down the coast to a nice beach. Stopped on the way to check out one of the Wesleyan churches. Slowed the pace a bit as between a couple hours [likely hot ones!] in church and then the BIG afternoon Kid's Club party [over 400 kids expected] tomorrow--we will be needing stamina and energy.

Laundry, some blogging, playing with kids, a bit of work and shopping filled the afternoon. A relative of John Pierre's came by with various types of souvenirs to show the team. Small pictures, metal lizards and fish brightly painted, bracelets, necklaces, wooden: bowls, machetes, a chest set, small square and round boxes, small statues..and more. This way they do not have a whole bunch of people pulling at their arms.

Thundering out so need to hurry. Spoke to Vero, a senior nurse on LaGonave this morning after learning that the hospital is full of babies with gastroenteritis. They are running short of supplies and have had 3 die who were brought in after other home remedies didn't work [thus delaying proper treatment until it was to late] Please pray for the staff, proper supplies for treatment, that the families will bring in the children early and for the Lord's mercy.

Congratulations to Merline, daughter of our dear friend Mme. Felican on LaGonave who was married on LaGonave today to Caleb.
